Once a year South Africa has it's heritage-day, also called 'nasionale braaidag', because barbie's is the shared heritage of everyone. In Botswana almost every Saturday seems to be 'nasionale braaidag'. Like when we hopped over to Geetha & Bart, who live in an area near to Gabs where the really big plots are. Actually we just came for afternoon-drinks, and sharing memories of Hille, our communal Dutch friend who suddenly passed away last July.
As it got kind of latish, we were invited to stay for 'a braai with friends'. This is one great things of Botswana. Because it's high (1000 meters and higher), and has almost always a fine breeze, the temperature goes down nicely after sunset. That's the ideal time to pour your sundowners, and start the braai-fire. After that, all you have to do is watch the fire, set the table, eat and drink - all in one, the big cool-down after a busy week.
