Saturday's visits

This morning we did long distance on black bess the bike , about half an hour each way to Suku and Johns home through busy Colva and back into the countryside. There were the usual hazards - a herd of buffalo ambling along the main road , numerous loose dogs and the odd stray porker. 

John and Suku share the home with his parents, which is the norm out here. 

They made us incredibly welcome with hot savouries, milky coffee and carrot halva, all after we'd just had breakfast .

In the garden was Johns dads fighting bull, a mean looking beast indeed.

The Bulls just lock horns as a rule and shove each other until one runs away. We went to one of these events years ago and we were terrified when the bull charged in our direction. The crowd scattered and people started climbing trees for safety.

The Indians love to bet .

After their house we visited Sukus  parents where we had a tour of the garden and met all the family.

We received more cashew nuts and then wended our way back in the 

midday sun .

Early evening we set off with Kath & Bob to Cavellosum for a dinner cruise along the River Sal out to sea and we even saw dolphins again  

Fun evening himself caught a really big king fish!

Happy Mother's Day Jean Boucher!!
