the locals....



Mauris in a Canoe and doing a war dance.....Looking at the pictures now it seems horribly touristry and colonial but it didn't feel like that doing it. In fact we were getting right into it and from their part there's a whole industry that keeps the culture (and coffers) alive.

The place was out in the sticks but they had it done out brilliantly - we were well impressed and they certainly made their money out of us. You have to take it with a bit of humour though - I especially enjoyed their response to an American who asked if they still have to hunt for food.
