Canaveiras - Marli's Birthday

Today was Marli's birthday. Early in the afternoon we went ashore to the oyster bar and stayed there until early evening, eating drinking and swimming. It was pretty busy with many tour boats stopping for an hour or so for drinks and oysters.

Visitors included an Australian plumber and his family from Melbourne and the newly elected mayor of Valenca, Tio Ramiro, who came round and shook our hands.

In the evening there was a big fiesta at a village across the river. I managed to get there but faded rapidly and after an hour or so returned to Kiriwina.
