Sarusungu, Rundu. 22/9/11 (Day 18)

This place is much nicer than Kaisosi. Flowing, grassy sites under large Camel Thorn trees. Still looking onto Angola. A few womenfolk are doing their laundry in the river. I cheated and did mine I the scullery! Luis has already sussed out his fishing spot. They do offer boat cruises (fishing or scenic, or both) as well.






A local taxi driver, & his fare of two young ladies, in his front wheel drive sedan, got stuck in the sand just outside the back gate (exit to the river). Luis to the rescue with his spade and some wood lying around, got them out successfully. Very appreciative.
Birdlife seen thus far: Cristed Bristeds, y.bellied greenbuls, ground scrapers, kurrichanes.
Watched two Angolan ladies toil all afternoon, carrying bucket after bucket from the river to their crop.



There are a few of those "allotments" across the river. Each one is tended by two ladies. I think we have life a little bit easier, what say you?
Sunset over the Kavango River - Angolan town in background. Think it's Calai.



Have already heard an owl (Spotted Eagle) - will probably be obsessively stalking it's whereabouts, again!
Luis gave fishing a good bash but nothing today. Still, there's always tomorrow.
