Hi all This has been a very busy and interesting week, and for me great fun as I love showing people around this very special place. Fortunately, the end of the rainy season seems to nigh and so we haven't been unduly hampered by weather related conditions, although it has had an impact on things. With Mati and Geoff we have experienced the rich and extremely poor side of this area. Monday began slowly as they were coming to terms with the new time zone, trem...

Hi, i can say very little that is different! When I got up this morning we couldn't agree over whethr the water level had risen or not. However, very quickly we could see that it was rising steadily. After a morning of playing on computers we decided to try to go into town for lunch whilst it was possible.
