Water

Orla on the left our junior doctor and Tilesa one of the other nurses from Samoa (her family is all safe thank God) and Chopper the clinic dog who has been rolling in the mud

After heading off again today in a different direction with my divining rod in hand in search of water look what I found, only about 90km away and yes the water is brown but I was desperate, I went in anyway. My feet sunk about a foot into the mud so I quickly ducked under and got out. I was also told no crocs!! 

One of our local kids having a swim with me.

Just the view it was actually very pretty and lots of birds.

Some of the locals from Laj who had camped out for the weekend. They had shot a bullock and cooked him up for dinner uuummm, uuummmm. they still had some fresh meat left in a bag. Oh the 2 dogs in the background are actually ours.

Just the locals again, glad I missed dinner!!!

  1. I can't believe you swam in that water or that you believe people when they say no crocs.... yeah I'm sure! I have been reading your blog every chance I get and it is great! Keep it up and hope you are still having fun!

  2. I agree with the above. I wouldn't be swimming anywhere up there. Glad to hear everything is going well with you. You seem right at home in that camp.
