Our plates do not look the same anymore, fried
banans, fried bread fruit, some lentals, a piece of fresh tuna.¨
And in opposite of the Caribean, where you paid a
vast amount of money for fruit, everybody keeps giving it to us for
free.
Pampelmousee, imagine a huge grape fruit, very
sweet.
Papaya
Bananas to be fried (red)
Sweet small bananas
Hard mango (that we have learned to grain as a
salad)
Bread fruit, when you fry it in small pieces with
salt it tastes better than french fries.
Lemon, en masse
Small oranges, not as sweet as we are used to but
good enought
Some fruits that we do not know the name
of.
Our aft deck is full of them.
In the morning Ellinor has been doing the laundry
and I took the kids ashore.
In the afternoon we went to a waterfall, it was
quite a walk indeed, through part of a rain forest.
Once up there it was like it probably used to be in
other parts of the world before every animal was killed or
outfished.
There was a small pond under a huge waterfall, and
in that pond you could find fishes and fresh water shrimps. As the water was
streaming down the rainforest there was fresh water muray hunting for other
animals.
We took a swim and enjoyed just fresh water with No
Salt!
As wee walked back everybody was really tired and
hungry. And along the way there where some kittens that of course stopped the
kids.
The couple that lived in the house where the cats
belonged offered us some lemonade. We thanked for the offer and then they
started to give us all kinds of fruits and also taught us how to prepare some of
it. Since they had some very simpel fishing gear hanging on the wall I asked if
they wanted some fishing hooks. And that got more things coming up, including
fresh french bred and a frozen tuna.
As we walked further we talked to a guy with a
guitar and learned they where going to sing in the church withing half an
hour.
So we decided to eat some bread, open a
Pampelmousse, have some fried bananas that we have gotten and then go to the
church.
Wonderful to hear the polinisean language and the
singing was short, cheerful and with good voices.
So when we took the dinghy back to the boat it was
getting dark.
Looking forward to tomorrow as the supplyship is
coming to the island, they come once every three weeks and as they have some
passangers on board the islanders will have some dancing
tomorrow.
