Spent the night at the pictures in the village, big night out with the boys. Finally we managed to complete the formalities for the shipping the vehicles, it was unbelievable the pieces of paper must have passed over 20 desks, been entered into numerous books, each time it all had to go to yet another desk. It cost in the end 150 rupee port charges and the vehicles have to be down there at the port on the 1st. went down the village again with Johnny Walker he’s a dam nuisance permanently pissed and cadging. Back at the hut they keep bringing there children with all their illnesses and sickness expecting us to cure them. No more hash again its coming on without smoking. Just found out the ARAK is made from battery acid banana and coconut boiled.

Sighted big turtle out at sea, big as a man, flying fish too.

The hut on Elliot beach, Me, Bet, John, Bev, Basil and Sandra watching the boys cooking fish cakes with tiny little shrimps they just caught in the receding tide.
