bulungula in racing green

in the transkei when it's summer it's wet and when it's wet it's green. really really green! i love it.

after having nothing against and many things to like about bulungula the canzibe crew paid it a summertime visit. we were joined in our endeavour by jenny gow, the whitest white girl in lusikisiki, who spent the weekend getting less white via various shades of red and brown. the first night there i indulged in my new found love of tanqueray gin. unfortunately my bottle seemed to develop a leak... it was almost finished the next morning....

if you are willing to go for a short trek through forests and hills you will find yourself at a local pancake establishment. find some shade, sit down, make yourself comfortable and order a three nut pancake. this glorious savoury pancake is stuffed with a butternut, cashew nut and coconut curry filling. it is quite simply divine. after this you can have a dessert pancake if you wish, its not really necessary but if you sensitive about your calorie intake you can tell yourself that you will burn it off when you walk back to the backpackers. i dont worry about that. i always have dessert. learn to live with it
