Back from Our Market
Bimble
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Leaving the market we had the chance
to see local houses.
![]() ![]() Motorbikes and scooters everywhere. Each time a car (or bigger) passes a
two wheeler they beep, we will have this for many months to come. Interestingly,
it is two pounds fifty to hire a scooter for the day and twenty five to hire a
car. The soil is reputed to be poor here so it was nice to see a banana tree in a front garden.
![]() The local car
wash. Nice to see a Stop sign, we only saw one set of traffic lights but
they were broken.
![]() ![]() Most vehicles bear the potential for One Careful Owner but we did see some posh ones.
![]() ![]() Out of town
housing.
![]() ![]() The Department of
Fisheries College is built like a ship.
![]() B&Q.
![]() As we expected Health and Safety
doesn’t exist. Traditional bamboo
scaffolding.
![]() ![]() Our final turn to the port sported a
Wonderful Sail 2 Indonesia banner. The Port entry
complete with fountain.
![]() A one carefully owned crane resting quietly.
![]() ![]() ![]() Back at the hospitality suite, we
found Bamboozle dealing with internet
connection. Only Jamie and Lucy would have a big Pelican
case for two IPads and a hand-held radio. Lucy wanted us to see her crew cap.
![]() The organist leading the karaoke, looking cool. Some of the officials hit new heights singing for us, some were
really good.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We watched the stage being built and by the time we left
there was just the fountain to be set and the plants to be distributed. A bit of
dancing with our hosts..........
![]() Posing with my new friends.
![]() Sunset, time to wend our way home.
ALL IN ALL A HAPPY
