Banda Amble – Well Our Second Bimble Really, Part
One   Finding we had an hour before the fort
opened at ten we went in search of the cemeteries and bimbled the other end of town.
       Yesteryear
glory, but not today.
 Bear was particularly
taken with this house.
 Pretty
flower.
   Chickens
everywhere.
 Smoke poured from
the corner of this house, not sure if the sports bag is drying but the
clothes on the roof are going to smell very smoky very soon.
  A couple of
alleys for a change.
 Mother-in-laws-tongue border this property.
  We thought this silvereye was shy until he popped out
with his find.
 Suddenly we saw Beez Neez (on the right).
 I know I said I would never take
another hibiscus picture but this was a lovely splash
of colour.
 We hope this chap
gets home without decapitating anyone.
  Monday seems to be wash day the world over.
 Very typical
street.
  Then we saw two
immaculate houses.
   A new build. A monument to nutmeg outside the rear of the mosque. Daily recordings are played from tapes by the call to prayer is done by a real person. Indonesia has the world's largest population of Muslims.   The House of
Christopher Cole who ‘took’ Fort Belgica in 1810 without ever firing a
shot.
   Mace and nutmeg
drying, oh and an unexpected ex-practice
ring.
