Then off for a camp inspection. I was also doing a story on pollen, so hovered around the flowers at reception like an idiot trying to get macro shots of flying insects, which is very difficult! (0!)

This maybe a bee... :O^

So bah...and out onto the road again. The Faai loop actually begins at the tar road a way east of camp. Very private with lots of clouds! ^Q^

Those units are old and slowly being replaced, Lis. Much cheaper as they have shared ablutions and kitchen! ;-)
