Thumbs up, shops & more rain

Still at Wallis, waiting for enough wind to make it all the way to Fiji.

An exciting day today, we went shopping. Tony stayed aboard while Sue Stella and Andrew headed into town. Stella needed internet to finalise her trip to Tonga to swim with the whales. Andrew and Sue headed to the supermarket for supplies. Overcast but still hot, Sue decided to test out her thumb and within minutes Karl (a local) pulled over to give us a ride. We don’t speak French and Karl doesn’t speak English, but we were able to let him know we wanted to go to the supermarket. After a downpour while in the shops, Sue and Andrew headed back to the boat with shopping bags on hand. It was only a few 100 meters when a lady took pity on us and offered a ride.

Back at the jetty you could see another downpour coming, so Sue and Andrew rushed the food back to Imagine. Andrew then returned ashore to wait for Stella who had found the only cafe with internet to shelter from the rain. Unfortunately we didn’t make it back to Imagine without getting wet.

Tony had prepared dinner while we were away.

After lunch it was still overcast with a few showers, so it was read a book or siesta time. You can’t go snorkelling in the rain, you will get wet (it doesn’t look as pretty).

Tony’s curried chicken smells good.
