 Manggar 
Welcome 
![]() We arrived for lunch in Manggar, the 
main welcome was from a local group of singers and 
dancers.  
      ![]() Such 
colour. 
   ![]() We sat to so much food and more kept 
arriving. Crab and fish soup – traditional for the 
area. 
      ![]() I pushed the tippy end of one fork 
tine into several dishes and each set my eyebrows on fire. The fish curry should have carried a hazard warning. There is 
little colour difference between local ketchup and hot sauce but a whole tongue 
explosion........ Everyone tucked in and all the men 
began to look as if their foreheads were leaking – Bear was more than 
beading...... I stuck with fried calamari, plain rice 
and water......Must get bigger and less of a wuss at this spicy 
malarkey... 
![]() Our trusty police 
escort had parked their boots and settled in the local way to enjoy their 
food. 
![]() Karel 
(Tehani-Li) accepted our gift from the 
Regent after he had given a brief speech of welcome. We all received a 
bag containing a fan, a fridge magnet and our lovely ‘ship-in-a-bottle’ – a 
traditional fishing craft. Then we settled to watch the dancers. They invited us 
to dance with them and then we were invited across the road to watch Antu Bubu – 
a ritual designed to rid the surrounding sea of the evil spirit who stops 
fishermen having success. A rich experience amongst the loveliest people.
