Well the village went off last night!! Party time African village style!!
We invited a few of the nurses and doctors from the villages to our village resort for dinner. We had asked the owner to prepare some food for them. What we thought would be a few villagers, ended up being what seemed like the entire village! Everyone came, they bought their families and it ended up being about 40-50 people! They all heard the ‘white people’ were throwing a party and all camedown! They also all thought it was a free bar! Even the local nun came for a dance!
Often the language barrier can be difficult, but when you are telling them something they don’t want to hear it becomes even more difficult! We told the bar and the locals that the first drink was free and then they had to pay, however I think I only saw 2-3 people pay all night. They were also ordering drinks and putting it in their bags and taking them home! Thankfully TIA (This I Africa!) and the prices are a lot cheaper than Oz. We ended up with a $300 bill for dinner and drinks for 40-50 people all night, which divided by 4 was not to bad. We had an awesome night too, lots of African dancing and music and lots of laughs, it was well worth it.
The buffet they put on was also heaps better than rice and spinach which we had become accustomed to and with free flowing Savannah dry we couldn’t complain! Awesome night had by allJ
Miss you all xx
