4.12.13 Wednesday Nemasu



Jean had sent some items on the container for Nemasu and wanted to be sure they got to the right place, so as promised we went to the storeroom, retrieved the well marked boxes, and set off for Nemasu after breakfast.  We arrived just before break time and Sue and Jeremy were able to visit the classrooms and see the children working before the bell rang for break.  I delivered the boxes to Mr Sallah, and took photos as requested by Jean, whilst the children were eating their lunch.  Unlike their English counterparts, the children here crouch around a communal bowl of rice whilst sitting on the floor. We then set off to see the vultures as promised earlier in the week.  There are still many many black kites arriving to be fed as well and they make for an impressive sight.  We sat and had a cold drink on the balcony whilst our guests made their way to listen to the talk and photograph the birds.  After a cold drink we toured the grounds, watching the visiting monkeys which have made their way over from the nearby monkey park, and made our way to the beach bar for another drink whilst watching the ocean.  We returned home to make use of the pool before going on a bird walk.  Unfortunately one of our number was not well, succumbing to the local tummy bug and so we had to postpone the walk to another day.  Instead those of us who could eat, had an omelette and chips before we all watched a film.
