Or a little of both. Comfort zone because we returned to a familiar place. Adventure because "God laughs as we plan" How true!

| Fit right in a local bus |
On Thurs morning we woke up at 5am, planned to return to the fishing village to see more of the harbor action. Missed the 5:30am bus, the 6am bus was full so we were ignored, augh! After one hour standing at the bus stop, we finally got picked up and arrived at the harbor.

| Six on a bucket boat! |
To our surprise, there was not much activity. At first we thought we were too late. Then I asked around and found out that due to the strong winds the night before, the fishermen got an unexpected day off.
Disappointment didn't last long. We strolled along the harbor shore, met and chatted with locals, watched them catching up with things they would do on their day off: maintenance work on their boats, family gathering, male friends having rooster fights, playing cards... Someone let G climb in their boat for picture taking. We did some beach combing and collected some very beautiful and unusual seashells.
CONNECTIVITY is what we were having and enjoyed every minute of it. Somehow we didn't get bored staying there until high noon!

Those children, so beautiful. I loved the shells. Are you bringing any back? G looked very comfortable in the bucket boat. Imagine letting six get into a small boat like that here in Canada. The safety patrol would be all over them with all the rules etc. Ha ha. You definitely get to experience local life when you expand your horizon. Hugs.

The twin were handful but they melt my heart as I love kids ;)
DeleteYes, I picked those shells, some are very delicate but I will bring them home with hope that not many will crack.

I hope that the shells and you will reach home safely. When I was coming back from Australia I wrapped my shells in my socks, underwear and t-shirts. Then I put them in my carry on. No problems. I will be travelling on Monday but I will try to keep in touch on my friend's ipad. Hugs.
