Amasiko nenkcubeko
small recording/rehearsal/ studio in town
i will connect you with the owner/operator of the studio if you are interested in booking time to record during your stay. He also teaches music lessons to children and adults. He speaks excellent English and is a really great guy. If this is of interest to you, plans need to be made well in advance as he is extremely busy.

Always have sufficient euros on hand before you arrive.
There may be only one ATM at your airport, and if it is broken you may not have the cash you need. Do not rely on credit cards being accepted everywhere and all the time.
