We left early this morning so that we could visit an additional Zulu village and still arrive at Simunye in time for the students to ride the horses to where we would be staying in the land of 1000 hills. Out first stop was Isithumba a local Zulu village that does cultural tours. We visited the headman, the medicine man, the local store, then went down to the river to learn how to make reed bracelets! The bracelets are made by women when they are agreeing to be in a relationship with a man from the village. From there we went to Simunye where the student ride horses to where we would be staying in our beautiful thatch roof rooms for the night. Our evening and morning were filled with dancing, singing, and amazing food. By morning the students were ready for their horse rides to the bus and then a long trip to the airport where we would depart for our final location, Jo'berg.
