 Chug chug, watch out, a
boat boy approaches.
  However we are more than
satisfied with the service that Ben and Adal gave us. They fetched
us 400 litres of diesel and did all the manual work including pouring in
the fuel using our rather slow filter. Having used them to
supply diesel as well as for a taxi service we became good friends and here we
see Adal, Ben and Papa Barry. We bought 3 magnificent dragons from
them as well as exchange English/Indonesian lessons.
 Here are our dragons, two
boot polished and one au naturel. This is the one that Ben carved in front
of us.
 Visiting the restaurant
ashore, the Eco Lodge, was an adventure in itself. When the tide went out
it was almost impossible as the mud was the sort that sucked you
under. Nevertheless the food was good and they even took our rubbish and
promised it would be destroyed correctly and not thrown back into the sea so we
felt it worth the difficulties. Ian and Lesley from Tapestry give us a
lift to limit the number of dighies to be dragged up and down the
beach.
