Iceland - Eskifjørdur - høfn

The last port of our Iceland adventure is the charming seaside town of Eskifjordur.

Taking this description from our Tour leaflets, this town is located in the middle of the East Fjords and takes its name from the fjord on which it sits .

I had the choice to go out because we were docked alongside but here I go again with my unpredictable personality. I did not explore it. I was looking outside the port hole and saw waterfalls running from the top of the very large fjord. I don't know what went wrong or right, I just felt I saw what has to be seen already. Haha

Well, just to give you a glimpse of this very simple fishing village, I braved the cold weather and went to the outside deck. Here's what I saw..

Maybe the next time I'll be here, I'll hop on a tour and see more and explore what this town has to offer. :)

Around Africa - Richard's Bay

The ship docked in an industrial zone. A shuttle bus would take any passenger or crew to the city center.

In my case, I went on the tour. Yes! The tour! It would be a personal interaction with Africa's Zulu Tribe.

An hour and a half bus ride away would take you to the Zulu Village. On our way, These are the views.

We arrived and was greeted by a member of the tribe. Him.

We went inside and saw these houses.

Our first stop was the spear making.

Then the shield making ..

To the bone throwing ..

 

Carving of pots and making of baskets ..

Making of accessories ..

And finally, Their ultimate showdown!

Then Their exit would lead you to the bone reader and the souvenir shop as well. It was well worth my half day though I was not able to get a single pic of myself with the tribes. And I would never forget to take a pic of me again. I need to have a souvenir right?
