We shared a hire car with Freda and John from Qwyver and drove round the island. A great day.

Weird tree
A few long pigs would have been dealt with here I can tell you .
It is part of a ceremonial area that would include entertainment and executions, or entertainment being executed or perhaps executing entertainers, the pigeon English, school boy French again. They did show us where the entertainers, long pigs or general non desirables were held until it was their turn to be the entertainment and it did not portray any sort of longevity. The holding pen, if you like is just behind Noi and between the roots of the weird tree. A very deep hole with some rather large chaps guarding the perimeter.
