Tuesday 24th September
A helpful cooking hint…
If you are thinking of making pasta carbonara and
you don’t have any cream, and you decide that coconut milk would be just as
nice…well don’t do it; it would be A MISTAKE!!
We didn’t quite
look like this grass-green headed monster after eating my dinner, cooked with love,
last night, but…I felt like it!
This morning we
invited Jan and Mrs Jan, aka Marian, for coffee. They have ben apart for five months. She was supposed to join him in Darwin for the
rally but she got stuck in Malta, where they live, with serious health
problems. She is fine now and VERY happy
to be in Beautiful Bali, on Beautiful SV Avanta.
Apart from this
our day was filled with chores. We walked
a mile or two with extremely heavy packs, buying veg, eggs the odd necessity at
shops spread along the main road of Lovina.
I asked a few people where I might find a kantor pos…post office.
Blink blink blank stares. “In
Singgarajah,” said one helpful girl. Oh
goody. I really wanted a thirty minute
taxi ride along the hot hot highway into hot hot Singgarajah…
And then I espied…
A dear little shy
postbox, outside a shop which coyly advertised STAMPS. WEEHEE!!
Not sure whether any of my Indonesian my ever gets where it is intended
to go, but…I do try…
This afternoon
we had a briefing meeting, nearly the Lovina Festival stage, which was more or
less helpful (ie not really…)
We are now waiting
to see if our visas have been extended.
Sam has our passports and we can’t leave without them. So either we will be having an early start
and two overnighters, starting tomorrow.
Or…another Lovina Day!
