tropical holiday day 9
back to the airport
onto the plane
off the plane
collecting the luggage
later that night
early next morning leaving the hospital -
the holiday is truly over.
tropical holiday day 8
the day starts with great promise -
we spend the morning shopping
we decide to eat over the water
then the weather looks ominous
it rains for the first time
I decide against lying on the beach
I walk up a hill to a lookout over the bay
this time it's cannons
I enjoy the setting sun
then realize it will suddenly be dark
it is hard to see on the way down but still quite early
we go to the restaurant
which has a hole in the floor
open to the sea
the meal is perfect
home tomorrow
tropical holiday day 7
last day in the old hotel
celebrated the last day of school with sushi
moved to the new hotel in the tourist zone
separate room for me
with a view
then visited the aquarium
find the fish
afterwards on the beachfront
the island we hope to visit the next day
perfect for lying on the beach
we are told
tropical holiday day 6
another early start,walking a long way
to the zoo
view of the nickel mine
which pollutes but earns a lot of money
up high, can see the hilly island
where younger daughter
is at school
high points either have cannons
or religious monuments
unfortunately the zoo was only open
to primary school groups
we kept walking and saw papaya trees
locals barked aggressively
while wagging their tails
we entered a hidden valley
of huts
sleepy locals
and public housing
then we returned to town
for the weekly market and fair
the square was no longer empty
stalls had been erected
local foods were on sale
manioc, wrapped in leaves
and cooked on coals
later another type of meal
then tired, early to bed again
