We were loaded with gifts. Sweaters for the boys and pyjamas for 5 year old Kindi. A coat for Sofrens mother and sweaters for Nassi and Sofren. Their wives got pillows (donated by K Mart NZ).<br>We were shown around the village. Definitely very different from our busy city life style! However the little Kindi seems very happy with her new pyjamas and was jumping and dancing, showing it to&nbsp; everyone around.<br>Back on Imagine we had a chilled afternoon.&nbsp;<br>Late in the afternoon B and I went back ashore where Sofren met us with bananas and coconuts to thank us for the gifts. The women of the village were preparing some dinner on an open fire. It looked like large pipies (shell fish) bananas and a couple of crabs. Everyone was involved including young Kindi.<br>The strong winds and intermittent rain is forecast for the next couple of days, so it looks like we will stay here for a while longer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
