Vera was kind enough to explain a braai (pronounced "bry"), here is another: Mampoer, i.e. a powerful fruit-based (home) distilled brandy as South African as one can get.  For those who would like to know more about its origin: [ Groot-Marico](http://www.tourismnorthwest.co.za/central/groot_marico_mapoer.html) and [Mampuru](http://www.encounter.co.za/article/179.html)

Vera (after taking some mampoer from her gourd) talked to the black mamba snake and the poor thing was fumigated and petrified, she could touch its tail (is it a tale?) :rolleyes:

Then there was Harry showing us new tripod techniques after having a sip...
