Greg digging for Caliche

Greg from Australia, arrived last week and freshly married with Sarah who is also accompanying us on RK, is seen here digging for caliche. This is a deposit layer we hope to find right above our groundwater level. This can be used for building houses ,roads and several other purposes.

David and Axel have arrived from the Pare mountains, and are together with Mathilde and Tichafa enjoying paella with crab caught with the crab-trap from Valère.

By the way; this is the first time Tichafa has tasted crabmeat!

Valère has made a bamboo crabtrap for catchment in the lagoon, which we hope will bring some nice crabmeat on the menu!

Every day we are visited by a lilac breasted roller, a beautiful bird who seems to be common here, but nevertheless worth sharing!
