Day 18: 26/1/12 - Getting to know the Villagers and Fishermen

This morning was spent surveying the village we stay in. We had to get the gps point of every house in the village. Siria was our guide of the village today, which made for an entertaining morning. But after about 40 houses, the rather sweltering sun got to me and I decided to call it a day. Reeve, the fighter he is, did a total of over 120 houses today. Aren't I proud.

We got some tea at one of Siria's relative's



These parts and their corn

Afternoon, we went fishing for dinner. I can't say i'm a fan- fish flopping about on the shore till they die. Eeek. But Reeve was utterly contented. And now we have dinner :)
