We have 3 boys here who are our helpers, Michael, Peter and Balem real characters they are. Sons of Fishermen in the village, they love working for the tourists. Yesterday they earned a little money so they brought us mango’s jap fruit and rice wine and pinched some coconuts. They eat the rice from the bottom of the rice wine and they were really tanked up by the end of the night they dressed up in Sandra’s wigs and Saris I took a photo of them they are good lads. Caught and cooked 5 crabs for us today, During the day its so hot. Coconut houses rolling seas moonshine at night, it really is a place to remember.   First day we’ve not gone into town.

Peter Michael and Balem, not their real names of course but easier to understand for us.
