| Pedicures as requested! They do match our scrub tops nicely. |
We had
another very sweaty day in sunny, humid Betio. Some of us didn’t have a toilet
stop until after dinner!! Half way
through the day we asked some of the dog owners if they might be able to find us
some drinking coconuts and they obliged which was lovely.

| Waiting, waiting.... |
Tally –
another 16 dogs and 2 cats, total tally 40 dogs & cats. We had a few tricky
ones today with a bitch “which had only given birth to puppies 1 month ago”
turning out to be 4-5 weeks pregnant, and an apparently cryptorchid male dog
nearly sending Annaliese crazy, with no retained testicle to be found…turned
out that his weird/scarred scrotum was a result of local ways of trying to
desex puppies (someties with disastrous results), so in actual fact he only had
one testicle to remove! Hence Helen’s quote of the day “Dib dib dib, dob dob
dob”, do your best!”

| Dried sandworms! |
After we
packed up we had a little drive around the war memorial, WWII war relics and
shops and port area. Helen adventurously sampled dried sand worms, and Allison
bought a 6kg tuna for dinner for $20 AUD!! Our tuna was christened Harry and
shared the cosy long ride home on the back seat. Then it took Helen and Allison
a fun 20 minutes trying to carve it up. And he was delicious!
