How's this for typical Africa. We tend to go to my brothers place twice a year. Reason being he lives by the coast!! Great, cheap holidays... (Hehe, hope he don't read this)
Anyway, Dec. 16 is some or other public holiday here, and last year there was an interesting situation on the beach. Each year the beaches are invaded by hordes (bus loads) of visitors from inland. I mean 10's of thousands of beach goers!! It's crazy stuff. The rest of us don't dare go near there. We opt for a visit to a local game park.
Anyway, the lifesavers at this particular beach are great. So, someone gets washed out to sea. A local (read black) lifesaver goes out, and saves him. At the same time he notices that the backwash / flow, is very strong, so decides to get the bathers (most of which can't swim) to move out the water, and across to another beach, (50 meters away) on the other side of a pier. Well, the whole crowd went African. They stared stoning the lifesavers, and when the local police came out, proceeded to stone them as well. Seems the police had to use teargas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd.
Damn, and I missed it!!!!
More about my coastal brother then. Very successful bloke he is. Also managed to scoop a degree about 20 years after he left college, so a bright boy at that. He's married to a nutter, (we love her to death) and they have a daughter who swims like a fish.
Last time we went down ( just before Xmas 2005) he took me deepsea fishing on his account. Great experience. He managed to land a Dorado, 16.5kg. Beautiful fish. See pic :-
Not in any specific order, fish, skipper, brother......
Only problem is he don't eat fish...hehehe.
Anyway, nuff of that. Later.................
