Sawa Sawa Winter 2017
Phil and I went for a month Feb-March and actually rented a car and also stayed at the RONGO PASTORAL CENTER. It was the first time we had had to plan and cook our own meals. The accommodations were not what we expected at all so we cooked on a one burner gas stove in an outdoor gazebo and our refrigerator was cardboard boxes packed with frozen bottles of water or soda we had consumed. The refrigerator was actually a 40 year old freezer with broken hinges but we made it work.
