     Namibia: pics from left to right (top to bottom) Opuwo – we got a local guide and did a visit to a nearby Himba village - not a tourist setup,

     a couple of the young local boys; a girl getting some of her 'perfume' made; Fred blowing bubbles and amusing the kids;
     Gay getting some of the 'red ochre' painted on her arm - it took some getting off; girls in their normal everyday decorations - red ochre and
     butterfat was rubbed on lavishly; the not so hard sell of some of their jewellery - at least we knew it was authentic!.
