Merry Hashmas ! (Christmas in June - Part I)

On June 16/17, I joined the Kalahari Hash House Harriers for their annual 'Hashmas' weekend.
It is winter here, so it only seems natural to celebrate Christmas, right ?  
We were met with some strange glances as we hiked through the countryside with our Santa hats !
We returned to the Bahurutse Cultural Lodge to a turkey dinner, with all the fixings -- followed by mulled wine and Christmas carols by the campfire.
The next day, we visited some 2,000 year-old San cave paintings and the Livingstone tree, under which Livingstone taught the villagers.
I look forward to more outings with the Kalahari Hash House Harriers !
Hike through villages and valley - On, On !
The famous Hash Circle

Candlelight Christmas dinner
Turkey and ham with all the fixings
If you look closely, you can see an oryx
A cave that concealed a local princess during war time
2,000 year old San paintings at Manyana
