on how to use
the bag. While malls in most countries might have fire extinguishers, in
Africa, bomb bags are common in places like this, and I remembered that the
first time I saw such a bag was last year in Windhoek, Namibia.
In one of the CD shops, I noticed a CD for sale called "District Six: The
Musical", and going back to one of the AudioLens camera stores, I bought a
disposable Fuji camera (no flash) for R39.95/US$5.33. The Pic 'N Pay
supermarket had a no-flash disposable Kodak for R36.99, but the import Kodak
disposables never indicate what film speed is used in them, so I opted for
the Fuji. In the Pic 'N Pay however, I did buy a bottle of fresh
orange/guava juice, as it's virtually impossible to find 100% pure orange
juice (by itself) in South Africa.
Finished with the V&A, I was feeling a bit disappointed that I had been
unable to locate the ship earlier... so being a bit stubborn, I decided to
forgo returning back to the B&B in favor of heading back to Duncan Docks for
another go at trying to find the RMS. Asking directions, I walked down the
long road (for the third time today) to finally see the ship's yellow funnel
sticking up above a building. Satisfied, I decided to call it a day.
Walking back to the B&B, I followed the same general route I had come to
know so well last year, though further up the hill at the 7-11 (which no
longer had an "Odoru Pompokorin"-playing UFO-catcher), I veered to the left
to head toward Vredehoek. Walking briskly, I left the CalTex station by the
V&A/Duncan Docks entrance at 6:10pm, and stopping briefly at the KwikSpar
down the street from Kritz' place for some sodas and snacks, reached the B&B
by 7:15pm.
Earlier in the day, I had left a message with Russell and his wife
Judith, whom I had corresponded with on the internet's St. Helena Mailing
List
