Artscape Theatre, 4 - 14 July, Tickets R150 from Computicket: 083 915 8000, www.computicket.mobi CION: REQUIEM OF RAVEL’S BOLERO Gregory Maqoma, internationally celebrated choreographer, dancer, social entrepreneur and recipient of French Government’s “Chevalier de L’ordre des Arts et Lettre” (Knight of the Arts and Literature award) brought

author Zakes Mda’s mourner, Toloki, to life on stage in this dance piece.

Mda attained global renown with “Ways of Dying” (1995), his seminal first novel that featured the unforgettable character Toloki, a professional mourner at township funerals during South Africa’s transition to democracy.

Mda’s writing is entrenched in African values, ethics and offers a broader view of South Africa as a complex animal with unique cultures. In “Cion”, the follow-up to “Ways of Dying”, Mda revisits Toloki a decade later.

Like the author himself, the character is now living in the United States, where he uncovers the story of runaway slaves who were the ancestors of an impoverished Southern family.

In this dance production, Maqoma drew inspiration from the multifaceted character of Toloki, who is embodied in a solo then joined on stage by eight gifted dancers from the Vuyani stable.

The character is set against the dark cloud of his country of birth, South Africa, and he used this as a palette to confront the notion of fear: of existing, of religion, of the self.

CAPE TOWN CITY BALLET PRESENTS

Giselle The CAPE TOWN CITY BALLET (CTCB) presents Giselle for 8 performances, from 6 to 15 July, 2018, at the ARTSCAPE Opera House, accompanied by Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra.

The CAPE TOWN CITY BALLET continues to build on its collaboration, fostered over several decades, with companies in the UK, Europe and the USA, with the appearance of one of Europe’s top ballerinas, Ksenia Ovsyanick, from the BERLIN State Ballet, at two performances.

She will be partnered by the CTCB’s own Senior Principal Dancer, Daniel Szybkowski.

Giselle is a ballet in two acts with a libretto by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Theophile Gautier. The music was composed by Adophe Adam, and the original choreography was created by Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot. The librettist took his inspiration from a poem by Heinrich Heine, and the ballet tells the story of a peasant girl named Giselle, whose ghost, after her premature death, protects her lover from the vengeance of a group of evil spirits called Wilis, female spirits who, jilted before their wedding day, rise from their graves at night and seek revenge upon men by dancing them to death.

The ballet was first presented at the Paris Opéra’s Salle le Peletier on 28 June 1841 with Carlotta Grisi as Giselle, Lucien Petipa as Albrecht, and Jean Coralli as Hilarion. In South Africa, the first performance of the ballet was presented in 1947 by the South African National Ballet, previously Cecily Robinson’s Ballet Club, with Alexis Rassine & Olive James in the leading roles.

In 1949, Anton Dolin produced the ballet for the South African National Ballet, who joined forces with the UCT Ballet Co for the occasion. Dolin partnered Alicia Markova, and they danced in Cape Town’s Alhambra Theatre. It was again produced by the UCT Ballet Co in 1955, featuring Alexis Rassine and Nadia Nerina,

Laura Bosenberg

Poole created his version of the ballet in 1972 in the Nico Malan Opera House, when the leading roles were danced by Phyllis Spira and Eduard Greyling, with Elizabeth Triegaardt as Myrtha, Queen of the Wilis, and John Simons in the pivotal role of Hilarion.

The CAPE TOWN CITY BALLET has performed Poole’s version nine times since 1997, produced by Elizabeth Triegaardt, by kind permission of Owen Murray, who himself danced both Albrecht and Hilarion during his long career with the CAPAB Ballet Co. Giselle is an audience favourite and many will remember the other partnerships of Olga Twell with Keith Maidwell, Carol Kinsey with Johan Jooste, Nicolette Loxton with Philip Boyd, Tracy Li with Daniel Rajna, Marianne Bauer with Johnny Bovang and Keith Mackintosh with both Linda Smit and Clare Shepherd-Wilson.

Giselle is being danced to full orchestral accompaniment for all but one performance.

Rosamund Ford as Queen of the Wilis

Performances are in the Artscape Opera House from 6 – 15 July, 2018.

Ticket prices range between R150 and R500.

The work begins with Mandela’s teenage years in rural Qunu, culminating in the young man’s initiation into adulthood and his decision to leave his village for the bright lights of Johannesburg.

The jazz music of the second act depicts the vibrant life of 1950s Sophiatown as it falls under the shadow of the apartheid security forces.

The final act ends with Mandela’s years on Robben Island and his release from prison, encompassing themes of revolution, incarceration, and freedom.

Mandela Trilogy made its European premiere at the Wales Millennium Centre in 2012 and has since been performed in Dubai, Hong Kong, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom.

RUDDIGORE

THE PRODUCERS

All of the Baronets of Ruddigore are under a terrible curse. Each of the successive Baronets must commit some kind of a crime every single day, or else they will die in terrible agony.

The Producers is a musical comedy that has taken Broadway and the West End by storm, winning a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards and 3 Olivier Awards.

Robin Oakapple has been living as a farmer for years, working up the courage to ask the beautiful village maiden Rose Maybud for her hand, but he is hiding a secret.

He is actually Sir Ruthven, the Baronet of Ruddigore, and has been hiding in disguise while his younger brother Despard assumed the title, and the curse.

Betrayed by his foster-brother Richard, Robin is discovered and must take on the responsibility of committing a crime every day in order to appease the curse, and the ghosts of all his ancestors past, who are none too happy with his attempt to shirk his title. Robin must somehow find a way to lead the honest life he loves, but how?

Ruth First: 117 Days dramatises First’s harrowing, 1963 arrest and detention under the notorious 90-day clause.

First became the first white woman to be arrested under this act.

On the background of the post-war 50`s, fading Broadway producer Max Bialystock is desperate to get to the top of his profession again, and he finds an unlikely ally in mousy accountant Leo Bloom, who hypothesizes that one could make far more money with a flop of a show than with a hit.

Together, the two set out to produce the worst musical ever to hit Broadway, with the worst script, the worst director, and the worst cast they can find; the catch is that they will raise two million dollars to finance the show, and they plan to take the money and head to Rio when the show inevitably closes after just one performance. Too bad for Bialystock & Bloom that, against all odds, the show is a total hit!

With dozens of big and bit parts alike, no shortage of show-stopping musical numbers, and Brooks` signature humour keeping audiences in stitches, The Producers is definitely far from a flop.

CTP PRESENTS

THE BROADWAY HIT MUSICAL The Producers is a hilarious musical comedy that has taken Broadway and the West End by storm, winning a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards and 3 Olivier Awards. Based on the 1968 film, Mel Brooks’s musical The Producers is a laugh-out-loud, outrageous, crowd-pleasing farce that has been a smash hit since its 2001 debut. A first for Cape Town, The Producers is definitely far from a flop.

On the background of the post-war 50’s, fading Broadway producer Max Bialystock is desperate to get to the top of his profession again, and he finds an unlikely ally in mousy accountant Leo Bloom, who hypothesizes that one could make far more money with a flop of a show than with a hit.

Together, the two set out to produce the worst musical ever to hit Broadway, with the worst script, the worst director, and the worst cast they can find; the catch is that they will raise two million dollars to finance the show, and they plan to take the money and head to Rio when the show inevitably closes after just one performance. Too bad for Bialystock & Bloom that, against all odds, the show is a total hit!

With dozens of big and bit parts alike, no shortage of show-stopping musical numbers, and Brooks’ signature humour keeping audiences in stitches. Anyone who knows Mel Brooks will understand the tongue in cheek humour and satirical nature of this post-war musical comedy.

Audiences are encouraged to dress up for any performance and enjoy their night out. The walkers used onstage by the “little old ladies” will be donated to deserving charities after the run as an opportunity to give back to the community that has supported the show.

A professional and community theatre space, The Masque Theatre is situated in the heart of Muizenberg - hosting live productions, soirees and recitals, seminars, presentations, and film shows. At the Masque Theatre, we deliver quality entertainment, accessible to all members of the public. The Theatre is wheelchair friendly with easily accessible patron facilities, and boasts a fully licensed bar.

Mel Brooks had been approached for years with the idea of turning his successful 1968 film The Producers into a stage production, but the project didn’t come to fruition until 1998, when Brooks contacted writer Thomas Meehan to collaborate with him. Rehearsals began in 2000 for a February 2001 pre-Broadway trial run at Chicago’s Cadillac Palace Theatre, which quickly sold out and garnered rave reviews. Its Broadway opening, starring Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane as Leo Bloom and Max Bialystock, won an unprecedented 12 Tony awards -- one in every single category for which it was nominated, and with multiple nominations in acting categories -- and shattered box office records.

Broderick and Lane went on to reprise their roles in the 2005 film version of the musical production (which was, yes, a film based on a musical based on a film) along with several more of their Broadway castmates.

THE WINTER HAUTE For many of us winter indulgence involves a roaring fire, a great bowl of soup, a hearty, satisfying main dish and a full body, preferably with beautiful scenery. Well, lucky enough, Haute Cabrière Wine Estate listened to those covert feelings around when Chefs Nic van Wyk and Westley Muller designed their Winter Menu.

Haute Cabrière estate’s visitor facilities are located just outside Franschhoek, on the slopes of the Hottentots-Holland Mountains, literally built into the rock. The complex includes the wine cellar and maturation rooms, the tasting room and the restaurant. It houses both Haute Cabrière and Pierre Jourdan range of Methode Cap Classique.

The award winning restaurant and chefs have put together a winter menu that is inspired by robust flavours and a feeling of comfort. You are welcome to sit by the open fire and enjoy the A La Carté menu or try one of the set menus options for the season.

Two courses at R230: Featuring a generous steak as main course, with triple fried hand cut chips, garlic and black pepper sauce, green beans and onion rings, paired with the Haute Cabrière Pinot Noir Reserve, at R185pp. Diners can add a dessert of the day for an additional R45. Available for lunch and dinner, excluding Sundays.

Six course Tasting Menu at R450: The six course Haute Cabrière tasting menu gives diners the opportunity to sample more courses off the menu compared to regular dining, and also a larger range of Haute Cabrière and Pierre Jourdan wines. Current menu favourites include the venison loin with port sauce and an onion and fig tart, paired with Haute Cabrière Pinot Noir, and sago pudding with almond ice cream and toasted meringue, paired with Pierre Jourdan Ratafia.

HIT THE ROCK Safely anchored in the heart of the hip and trendy De Waterkant village, the Rockwell All-Suite Hotel & Apartments offers some of the most unique features you’ll find in any inner-city hotel in the world.

The ground level is accessible from both Prestwich and Schiebe street, includes The Rockwell Cafe & Bar, the Dinner Theatre and The Rockwell Cellars.

The Rockwell Café & Bar is a full day, breakfast, lunch & dinner affair. Open for both hotel guests and day visitors to the area looking for a perfect place to conduct business and have a few meetings, it offers a choice between indoor seating and the Urban Garden. They also provide A La Carté room service to hotel guests and apartment residents- a perfect opportunity for a romantic or indulging dinner.

Day visitors to the Café & Bar are welcome to make use of the secure parking (pay by the hour), enjoy the free, high speed fiber optic Wi-Fi, make use of the full serviced gym or take a plunge into the heated indoor pool on the first floor anytime between 6:00- 23:00 - the epitome of mixing business with pleasure.

To top it all off, every day between 11:00- 19:00 The Rockwell Cellar is open for wine tasting and pairing.

Currently stocking two of South Africa’s known brands, Flagstone Wines and KWV, one is getting a chance of having a Winelands experience in the heart of the city, followed by wine purchases at cellar door prices.

Wine tastings and pairings include a selection of 5 wines and are designed to last about 45 minutes. You will be offered 2 whites, a Rosé and 2 reds. The wine pairing includes a delicious cheese platter and savoury chef’s selection, so if you have an out of town guest, either corporate or personal, it is a great way to show off with this much-loved pleasure that locals often take for granted.

l Hello Cape Town July 2018

The last note belongs to The Rockwell Dinner Theatre. Running in Cape Town for a few years now, ‘The Kaapse Stories’ musical gives you an inspiring insight into the “rainbow nation” of Cape Town. It transports international and local guests of all ages into the vibrant world of District Six, through the adventures of the Kleintjies family. The show is suitable for all ages and the ticket includes a full 4 course dinner. Guaranteed shows Tuesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays and most other days due to demand.

Every once in a while the theatre hosts a comedy evening with an A-list South African comedian. It is well advised to check their digital platforms when you plan your visit to Cape Town in order to partake in those heart-warming evenings.

what to see TABLE MOUNTAIN Rising up as a surreal backdrop to all of Cape Town is the extraordinary Table Mountain, and the state of the art Table Mountain Aerial Cableway will whisk you to the top in a picturesque 5-minute ride.

Table Mountain is among the most popular attractions in the world, and it is no surprise that it holds the title as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. And while it’s impressive from pretty much anywhere in the City Bowl, it’s not until you soar to the top in an exhilarating ride on the cable car, with its rotating floor, that you can truly appreciate its stature, and the incredible city of Cape Town that bustles far below. Operating Hours: First car up 16 Sept to 30 Apr: 8:00 and 1 May to 15 Sept: 8:30. Last car down varies with sunset times but not before 17:00. Tel: 021 424 0015, www.tablemountain.net

KIRSTENBOSCH There are few places in the Mother City as tranquil as Kirstenbosch Gardens, and at least once during your visit, when you stop to catch your breath and absorb the splendour of your surroundings, you’ll wonder how it’s possible that the bustling, buzzing city of Cape Town is just a stone’s throw away.

These sprawling, landscaped gardens cover 36 hectares on the slopes of Table Mountain, and they blend in so effortlessly and majestically with the natural vegetation that you’d be forgiven for not realising their true scale. And when you consider how much there is to see and do in the gardens, from atmospheric sunset concerts and movie screenings, through to guided walks, popular restaurants, and an award-winning treetop walkway, it’s quite likely you’ll be planning your return visit before you’ve even left.

FREE GARDEN WALKS AT KIRSTENBOSCH The Botanical Society’s volunteer Garden guides, who are brimming with amazing knowledge and insights into the Garden, lead FREE guided walks around the Garden. Walks are all slightly different as they are tailored to meet the need and interests of each group and highlight seasonal interest in the Garden. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Walks are free but garden entrance fee applies.

Monday - Friday: Leaving from Gate 1 (Visitors Centre): 90 minute walks at 10:00, 11:00 and 14:00 Leaving from Gate 2 (Garden Centre): 90 minute walks at 11:00 Saturday: Leaving from Gate 1 (Visitors Centre): 90 minute walks at 10:00 Leaving from Gate 2 (Garden Centre): 90 minute walks at 10:00

TWO OCEANS AQUARIUM The southern tip of the African continent is the meeting place of two mighty and bountiful oceans, the Indian and the Atlantic. The Two Oceans Aquarium is ideally positioned to showcase the incredible diversity of marine life found in these two oceans.

The Aquarium holds over 3000 living sea animals, including sharks, fishes, turtles and penguins can be seen in this spectacular underwater nature reserve. The two ocean aquarium has established itself as a key player inraising environmental awareness through its high-quality exhibits, conservation and education programmes.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE There are few things as exhilarating as standing at the base of a beautiful, 150 year old lighthouse, perched precariously high above the swirling Atlantic Ocean, and knowing that you’re at the most southwestern tip of Africa. Knowing that the next closest landmass, when you look across the icy seas, is Antarctica – more than 4,000 kilometres away.

The panoramic views that spread out before you are breath-taking. Literally, because you’ve just earned them with a final push up the final flight of stairs from the upper funicular station. And once you’re there, it’s impossible not to spend a few silent minutes taking in the gravity of the dramatic location, before you instinctively reach for your camera.

This is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and offers hiking, surfing, angling, picnicking, beaching and cycling opportunities against the spectacular backdrop of the mountains and coastline of the most south western point in Africa.

Cape Point offers visitors excellent viewing opportunities from the two lighthouses that adorn the point – one still functional, informative interpretive signage that traces the cultural and natural history of the Point. The lighthouse is accessible by foot or you can catch the Flying Dutchman funicular to the top. P.S. Baboons in the parking lot are not a rare picture as one might think.

Operating Hours: Winter: Apr – Sept: 07:00 - 17:00, Summer: Oct – March: 06:00 - 18:00. Visit capepoint.co.za for more.

BOULDERS BEACH After you have fallen in love with the penguins head to the secluded Boulders Beach and take a swim in the comparatively warm waters of the False Bay. This beach is ideal for kids as immense boulders shelter the cove from currents, wind and large waves - but please always take care. Also, don’t touch or feed the penguins. They might look cute and cuddly but their beaks are as sharp as razors and if they feel threatened they have no qualms about nipping the odd finger or nose. Operating Hours: Winter: Apr – Sept: 08:00 - 17:00.

Summer: Oct – Nov: 08:00 - 18:30, Dec – Jan: 07:00 - 19:30, Feb – March: 08:00 - 18:30. Tel: 021 786 2329. www.sanparks.org

ROBBEN ISLAND There are few places in South Africa that bear the weight and sheer historical importance of Robben Island, and a trip to the former prison serves as a jarring reminder of country’s troubled political past. At the same time, it reveals itself as a powerful symbol for the triumph of the human spirit, and offers fascinating insight into the reconciliation and resilience that played such a key role in the development of a new South Africa.

From the moment you arrive at the humble island, just a short ferry ride from the V&A Waterfront, you’ll feel the impact of this World Heritage Site. A former inmate will guide you while on the island, and you’ll receive unparalleled insight into the significant role that each of the Robben Island’s inmates collectively played throughout apartheid. Operating Hours: Ferries depart at 9:00, 11:00, 13:00 and 15:00, weather permitting, from Nelson Mandela Gateway, at the V&A Waterfront, Tel: 021 413 4220/1, www.robben-island.org.za

recommended wildlife must-dos CAPE FUR SEALS

Loving known as the ‘dogs of the sea’ for their sweet nature and playful frolicking, the Cape Fur Seals naturally occur on islands around SA and are found nowhere else in the world.

Duiker island is home to over 6000 seals who love to sun themselves about on the rocks and audibly snort and grunt at one another, bobbing in the swell while keeping an eye out for fish to eat. They’re mostly brown, but shades vary from caramel to dark chocolate.

The pups are born black and slowly grow lighter. These water-logged dogs are inquisitive and friendly when in the water, and will often ‘escort’ scuba divers and snorkelers – but a word of caution: on land they are far less relaxed and tend to panic when people come near them, so rather keep your distance.

While the local fishermen may complain about the mischievous bunch, they are a pleasure to watch as they dance in in the water, jouncing along the boat and will often hold a flipper held high to give you

high-5. The seals are on the island all year around, however are most active and abundant in the heat of Cape Town’s summer. So beat the heat and climb on board one of Drumbeat Charters’ cruises.

Not to forget, you can also spot these pups at Robben Island (Dutch for ‘seal island’) You are guaranteed to encounter pod of Cape Furs cavorting about.

AFRICAN PENGUINS Boulders Beach near Simon’s Town is arguably one of the most beautiful spots in Cape Town – not simply for the venerable granite boulders, crashing crystal-blue waves and the silky white sands, but it’s tiny tuxedoed locals! The African penguins (fondly known as jackass penguins, because of the braying sounds they make) established their colony 1983 and remains the only place in the world where one can get up-close to African penguins.

Boulders itself consists of 3 pristine beaches, 1 penguin viewing area and 3 boardwalks.

The boardwalks are placed as a measure to allow for viewing of these marvellous birds, whilst keeping them safe from poking fingers and irresponsible behaviour of people, so please be sure to stay on the boardwalks at all times within the viewing area.

Please take care not to touch or feed the penguins – they may look cute and cuddly but their beaks are as razor sharp and if they feel threatened they have no qualms about nipping a finger or nose! You should be able to see the fancily dressed fellows throughout the year - but for a real treat, try to visit in January when the juvenile birds are moulting on the beach. Of course Beach space depends on the tides, so make sure to come at low tide and visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Note, there is limited parking, so arrive early during peak Summer months!

SHARK CAGE DIVING Looking for a heart-pumping adrenalinespiking experience? Why not swim with the Atlantic’s most ferocious fish in the Great

White Shark capital of the world Gansbaai?

Walk, or rather, swim on the on the wild side with a life-changing experience you will most certainly never forget. Shark diving in can be divided into 2 main seasons: High season - May to October: this the best time to see Great White sharks as the visibility is good and shark activity escalates. Low season: January to March, however shark activity still continues and you have a good chance of spotting these majestic creatures.

To avoid disappointment, we recommend that you call the company and ask about their current shark sighting and/or schedule a few days before. As a heads up, it’s a stunning boat ride out with the pros wherein 4/5 people jump in the cage at one time upon a sighting. Although the water temperature may shock you more than the shark, the adrenaline will warm you up quickly!

Although nothing beats a genuine face-toface encounter with a Great White, there is also the option to either just tag along for the boat ride or see the phenomenal show from the upper deck of the boat – don’t forget those cameras!

CHACMA BABOONS If you have taken a road trip along the coastal road, you will have bound to bump into a troop or two of some furry primates lolling about foraging, playing or fussing over one another - A human society in miniature, the Chacma baboons in the Cape Of Good Hope Park are truly interesting and uniquelot to observe. What makes this particular large collection of 6 troops unique is during the low tide they may be found roaming the beaches feeding on sand hoppers and shellfish - a very unusual behaviour for primates as their diet mainly consists of fruits, roots, bulbs, insects and scorpions.

Watching this bunch can be very rewarding - but do so from a discreet distance. Please don’t get out of your car and leave it open, especially if you have food inside. Keep your windows mostly up and even your doors locked as these quick and agile baboons have been known to jump into cars and steal food, bags and any loose items!

The dominant males have especially large teeth and a dangerous (and painful) bite.

Do not feed these animals because this leads to problem behaviour from these highly intelligent primates. These primates are also notorious for their destructive behaviour and if conditioned to receive food may have to be eliminated for public safety.

The Chacma baboon troops on the Cape peninsula are the only protected population of the species in the world due to human activity and interaction.

Here are some do’s and don’ts: • DO keep a safe distance from baboons • DO move away slowly if a baboon approaches you • DO takes pictures from the safety of your vehicle or a safe distance

• DO NOT display food when baboons are visible • DO NOT tease or agitate the baboons • DO NOT open the windows or doors of your car when baboons are present • DO NOT feed baboons. You will be fined

big 5 safaris

Who comes to South Africa and doesn’t go on a safari? A literal bucket-list experience, we have two breath-taking game reserves we recommend that will not only give you the opportunity to see the exclusive Big-5, other wildlife and flora, but an experience you will take home with you and cherish forever:

AQUILA PRIVATE GAME RESERVE

Aquila’s four-star cottages are built largely from rock, thatch and wood to blend with the environment and offer every comfort like roaring log fires, wooden viewing decks, air conditioning, crisp percale linen, rock bathrooms and, in some, alfresco rock showers.

Aquila’s afro-chic Aquila Lodge comprises of 3 levels, accessible by a glass panelled lift with magnificent Karoo vistas. The Lodge offers both standard and premier lodge room. Aquila has an outdoor swimming pool, a pool bar, a cigar lounge and a large dining room where the chef presents a rich variety of authentic South African cuisine. Aquila newly opened African spa featuring; 2 large heated indoor pools, steam room, sauna, nail bar, 10 treatment rooms, a couples or group treatment room and an outdoor pool.

INVERDOORN GAME RESERVE Inverdoorn is the largest private wildlife reserve in the area, providing sanctuary to an abundance of wildlife. The game reserve offers a premier safari experience including game drives, luxury accommodation and incredible insight into the rescue and rehabilitation of the cheetah.

Inverdoorn is also home to the Big 5 - the elephant, lion, rhino, buffalo and the elusive leopard. The game is thriving and during your safari you may come across herds of eland, gemsbok and zebra, or hippos wallowing in the dam. The rhinos, with their horns intact, are a distinct highlight, combined with the magic of walking with giraffes and watching the cheetah run. This beautiful, big cat is the heart and soul of Inverdoorn.

In 2001 Cape Cheetah was established, which seeks to rescue and rehabilitate cheetahs and, ultimately, release them into the wild.

SAFARI

Set in the pristine Southern Karoo Highlands against a backdrop of dramatic mountains, the Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa offers an exciting taste of real Africa just two short hours from Cape Town. Aquila is home to an enormous variety of game, including the Big 5. Two- to three-hour game drives are a perfect way to see the animals (in four-wheel-drive vehicles, quad bikes or on horseback).
