By Grace:
We are at Misima and tonight we are going out
for dinner at the Misima guest house.
Earlier we went up to the Skull cave with a lady
named Joyce. We got to ride up to the cave in the back of a truck!! (Otherwise
we would've had to walk for an hour). Dad said there was 40-60 air conditioning
(which means it works better at 60 k's an hour then it does at 40) Only Mum went
completly into the cave. I poked my head in because the skull cave was
full of (you guessed it!) real live (not so 'live' anymore!) human skulls
put there by real live Pirate Ships!! Someone had neatly placed about 40 skulls
in a large group. The skulls have been there for almost 200 years ago. One of
the skulls had someone's name carved inot the back of it. I can't remember
the name though.
On the way back we stopped at Joyce's village and
bought some bananas and some garlic nuts. Despite what they're called garlic
nuts taste more like almonds than garlic. The bananas are only about as long
as my finger and they tatste really sweet.
Tomorrow we will be leaving late morning to go to
Bagaman Island, about 28 miles away.
