Life in Raro As We Know it - Part Two

I will just hark back to arrival, we were a little overloaded
We said "God help us" and he did.
Also, some shots from our market shop.
And once again loading the car.
Sunday dawned. Woke to Sun, Lana and Dale got some rays.
When we were here 4 years ago, Lana and Heinzie on one of their long walks, found this back road and explored
 Just like a fairy tale, they came across the house of the Coconut Shell Bra Maker

Sitting on the Veranda was this gorgeous little girl
Ms Lana took some lovely shots and on her return home, had this one (below) enlarged and framed
Their Mission this trip, find the little girl and give her the photo that Lana had enlarged.

So this day, they wandered off
Past the football ground
Up the long and winding road
And finally they found the house. The family has now split up sadly, but they were all there.
Now living in the same area with extended family, but apart.
There she was was, Lana presented her with the photo.
She was thrilled.
The father was so excited, he invited Lana and Heinzie to come and see him at his beach place. Anytime... Its the only caravan on the Island.
They found it. He wasn't home
Never mind next time.
On the way home, Lana popped in to see our wastemaster
Miss Penelope Piggie
We make sure there is plenty of good leftovers to fatten her up.
Lunch was Fresh Watercress Soup, with Ms Mary's Cheese scones
The Concert this Evening, was Cher, preceded by Ms Lana's slideshow of Raro 2006.
All washed down, with excellent Martinis and tasty dips.

Team Photo with the Self timer
Didn't quite get it right
And again
Inspired by the atmosphere The Titikaveka Trio performed.
Martinis on the deck
And  to misquote Cher "The Night Goes On"
Jugs empty
Think the Martinis worked
It seems we attract famous people. Benny Hill popped in
End of Day Three!
