Hi Everyone,

Hope all is well, We had to stay on the boat for 2 days as it was Sunday then independence day so customs weren't open, when we got ashore, all the lady’s were in bright coloured dresses,
it looked like one pattern and they colour them themselves, we took a bus to the waterfall, it was the loveliest we have have seen so far, you had to walk through it up the hill
to find it, on the way we past the villages and they are so poor it makes you want to cry, they all grow lots of fruit and veg so they have something to sell.
We have sailed around the island so we could snorkel, but it has rained so hard we couldn’t, also couldn’t sail back to harbour today as you couldn’t see where you were
going, we tried and had to go back.
So we got on with a few jobs, and were so pleased with our new canopy's & side windows as we didn’t get so wet, there worth every penny.
We brought some fruit & veg from men and ladies that canoed out to us, the canoes were a whole tree hollowed out that the had made themselves.
So tomorrow we are going back to harbour to clear customs and a bit of shopping.
Then it’s off to Australia, Alan’s cousin Tony is flying to Darwin to meet us, so that will be nice, hope we get there on time.
Bye for now, lots of Love Mum & Dad - Margaret & Alan xxxxx=
