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
