There were some fine colonial buildings still in use and being well
maintained. We’d never seen such a big pandanus stall before, confirming what an
important product the pandanus mats are to the weavers and national economy.
Sirens sounded throughout the working days to notify break times and the start
and finish of the working day. On one day they were testing the Tsunami Warning,
time and again for a number of hours. The verbal warning concluded with the
words, “The tsunami warning is now over, you may resume your duties.” I felt as
if I was in a Prisoner of War Camp!
The four old ships sharing the anchor of the one on the right were just one
example of precarious accidents waiting to happen. Our mud holding was good but
we were in dubious company! |
