The memorable part of the day started after breakfast when we walked down the road, and then up some steps to the little performance ground the lodge has for its Tumbuna Sing-sing show.
We were advised to come early to watch performers prepare, and to chat with them (likely something TNT requires of them to participate – guessing they are compensated).
In any case that was a good recommendation.
There is some explanation in the vids, but it would be too voluminous to give detailed explanations – only occasional comments are feasible.
In addition to the face painting, Dana got a guy from the Huli wigmen to dance with her. I think I recognized at least one of them from their performance near the Ambua Lodge.
One guy hammed it up by exaggerating the pain of the nose insertion.
The actual show was somewhat loosely organized, so I’ll just include choice highlights from the performances.
And now for something completely different….
the mudmen – of unclear origin, according to one cynic the creation of a publicity guy in the 50s.
Edward Scissorshand or Wolverine wannabes, depending on your vintage.
Dana and I both left the show early, the GI effects of something we ate or drank along the way. Whatever, it was nasty – no need for details. We both slept from the early afternoon on Friday to Saturday morning, except for a truly weird episode on Friday night when I, in apparent delirium, woke up and thought 7 in the evening was 7 the next morning, got Dana up and the manager down to get us to the airport, only to learn the truth, go back to bed, and sleep through the night, thanks to some good meds I’d remembered to bring along.
