29th January - more boys fixing toys - Coron (Philippines)

Thursday 29^th January 2015

Such a nice way to go home from school!

Today was a total boys fixing toys in exotic locations day.

Pete spent umtpy hours contriving a new bilge pump tap.

WEEHEE there it is!  With the yellow handle!  Pete is SUCH a wiz!

We went early on to the market in the dinghy and I took a photo of a bus ready(ish) to go into the wide blue yonder.  It looks as if it is in the vast plains of Africa.  In fact it is on the reclaimed land around Coron waterfront…but doesn’t it look speccy??  (A totally useless and mostly unused bit of reclaimed land but…maybe the mayor wanted Coron to look like the Sahara instead of the green and lush Philippines??)

I was very glad not to topple into the water where we tied up the dinghy…Freshly dead fish, bits of crapola…NOT enticing!

We had the sparkliest newest tricycle in Coron!  It took us across the vast expanse of Serengeti plain with our shopping, and then to…the hardware store!  They know us there now and immediately bring out a little plastic chair for me…

The day ended with the most glorious sunset…
