My lap top is broken so sorry now messages unless we can get to an
internet cafe,
It is lovely here, we just arrived when seven traditional island boats
arrive doing a world tour, so the island is having big celebrations,
cultural dancing and they welcomed us and asked us to stay and join in
with them, it has been very interesting and a spectacular sight.
It is very shallow here and we got stuck in the sand twice coming in,
so we have to get up very early tomorrow to leave on the tide, the
seven boats are leaving at the same time and are going to Fiji, so we
might see them there again, they just arrived in Bora Bora as we were
leaving, and we just thought it was a local thing, but they are going
around the world and have been away since a year last march.
It took them the same amount of days to get here as us and they only
have traditional means and no engine so they must have great knowledge
of sea,stars&wind, think we better get talking to them!
Hope all is Ok, see you in June lots of Love Margaret & Alan,- Mum & Dad xxxxxxx
