It's a beautiful day in Chintsa on the Wild Coast of South Africa: the sun is shining, it's not too humid (for a change!) & soon I'll be walking down to the beach to begin the long easter weekend. One small glitch in this perfect summers day...the dam that supplies our town with water is empty. The local municipality has trucked in enough water to cover us for the weekend (whilst the easter tourists are here!) & then we're on our own...A scary feeling. It's hard to imagine that when you turn a tap there will be nothing there. No showers. No flushing. No clean dishes. No clean clothes. I think this will be the most challenging situation I've ever come across whilst away from home.
