Its 3am and I'm
on night watch so filling in the time with a few odd photos collected on my
camera-phone ( please excuse the quality).
Found one from
Bali, we hired a Harley for 24 hours, not sure I would have time to clean all
that chrome if it was mine.
Next one shows a
stall in Mauritius selling herbs, not sure if they cause the condition listed or
cure it!!
376 shows us
moored up outside the elegant new Port Office in Reunion.
A sequence of
photos relate to a demonstration by Reunion lifeboatmen. The highlight was a
chien de sauvetage ( rescue dog?). He apparently swims out and saves people in
distress. For the demonstration, however, his portly owner swam out first to the
man in the canoe who was waiting to be rescued. He then called the dog
to swim after him. He then presented the rope from the canoe to the dog who took
it in his mouth and duly swam to the shore
...mmm...
lovely dog
though.
Yes, French
policemen still do wear those hats.
We have about
1100 miles to go to Durban and so far weather is good. Just about to sail quite
close to the south of the huge island of Madagascar.
