Up the Creek

After lunch and a little rest, Jacob took me to David’s (about 200m away). It was the first time I’d seen David with his baby daughter.

They have a neat little tent to keep flies and mosquitoes away from the baby.

David took me for a walk down to the creek, where there are many fishponds amongst the mangroves, though some tell you to keep out.

Fishing canoes (dug outs)

A new canoe being made, they are cut from a tree with very low density

Here they come – bringing supplies from across the creek rather than fish (fishing is done at night)

Carrying the shopping home – charcoal

and firewood
