Staying with the reverend's family in Kokstad

After Coffee Bay, we went on hitch hiking towards the Drakenberg and Lesotho, but first we had a stop in Kokstad. A reverend of the local baptist church, Rowan, picked us up by the side of the road and since the hour was growing late, he kindly invited us to spent the night at this house with his family. They first had an award ceremony for the end of the school year at their local school. We were kindly invited to assist and I tried to make myself useful by taking pictures, especially since I want to try out my new camera. Before the awards though, they had a little Xmas play, which was enchanting!
They had six children, three of themselves and three adopted, of which only one boy, but quite the handful.So lovely to meet them.


It once again confirmed my love for the hitch hiking way and how it is one of the best methods of meeting the salt of the earth!

Now, off to Drakensberg and the pony trekking trail in the Sani Pass that we're undertaking for the next three days!
