Our Feet Head to Solid
Ground
We call the dollar water taxi and take
our first trip ashore, Bear delighted, I get a fit of
applauding
Does it feel
special ???
We take two steps, look over and see a
sleeping beauty and Sally Light-foots.
Tick.
A new number plate to
the collection
We venture toward
the Tourist Information Office, along a main
road
Spectacular wiring, everything and the
kitchen sink and a unique water
cover
The wonderfully
decorated junior school
Outside the
tourism office, rare to see an older Jesus with his
parents. Outside the church we see Baby Jesus
holding an orb and a clam shell.
The lovely church
with a very different wall mural.
The
hospital
A ‘posh’ hotel. A
pretty eatery. One nearly finished.
More
exploring
A supermarket.
No crisps or coke to be bought here and as a bottle of
Absolut vodka comes with a price tag of fifty one dollars and seventy cents, we
use our on board supplies.
We trot down many unmade streets, but they will look super smart when they are
finished.
A darling little
house
Time to buy Bear
his retirement anniversary lunch in the
Mockingbird.
The man in question retired five years ago today, he
celebrated with beef stroganoff, rice and chips and
we toasted his continued good health from glasses
that actually lean over.
The workmen returned to work after their lunch break, the
noise of the cement mixer became wearing, the internet connection was painfully
slow, so we went in search of somewhere quieter for sweet. In the front opposite
the ferry dock we found an upstairs restaurant called the
Miconia. So long as we spent five dollars we could log on to their Wi-fi.
Super fast. I had ice-cream and fruit and the celebratory boy had crepe, fruit and ice-cream.
The view down the street to our left, the view opposite and out to my right across the anchorage.
The beautiful
wooden murals and the wall
painting showing the promise of things to come, I feel this could become
a regular setting for us.
ALL IN ALL SO THRILLING TO BE
HERE
WONDERFUL |
