Good morning in the HWH (Heidi Worldwide Highschool) followed by a visit to the wildlife Habitat in Port Douglas…. wonderful!
Feeding the Roos: By Day and by Night!
and by night

imitation… 
Touching the Croc
a real one! 
O no, This is the real one. 4.20 meters, 380Kg .
Departure from Fiji – it has been a great 3 days, but boy is Sydney a nice place to go to too! Especially if you can visit Maile, Charlie and their kids (one who give up his room for Alicia and Leendert!)
The view from the top of the roof is stunning (but pales against the hospitality) and the fun Heidi and the kids have with the extended family. It is amazing what joy ex-colleagues can bring!
It was a short stay, and off went to Port Douglas. A lovely place Heidi has found and it was a serious homework day. Let there be no doubt, book reports are written, math is hammered home, English is being taken very seriously…. it is just the environment is slightly different!
Alicia in class – followed by Leendert with private tutoring…
A demonstration of the traditional Fijians – including the fire walk.
A road trip took us to a lunch at the guides house… and later the villagers made us drink the cava (in the full ceremony) 
Practical things also happen – Leendert getting a haircut…
Great day on a boat (with life music), to a more-or-less to private Island in luxury. Kids happy on the water and in the water. Idyllic! Kids got photobombed by fish though!
Very early arrival with Fiji Airways (2.5 hours ahead of schedule).
Sheraton let us check in early,… gorgeous sunrise (one picture with, one with out family). Idilic!
Great time at Dean’s, and lovely drive to San Francisco.
You can see that the kids were keen on supporting the Golden Gate Bridge. Leendert also felt the need to hang on the bridge as well.
At Dean’s we established Leendert is still one mm (actually 1degree) sm : ‘look mom I am taller that you!’
How can one not buy? Such a wonderful market near Cusco
Cusco Skys are amazing! View over the city. The colours of the markets.
The bricks of clay – and the finished building (ready for some plaster on the outside)
Cooking class with a fun bunch of people (it tastes better than it looks!)
Had a fantastic time in Cusco school – the smiles we encounter…
The Staff goodbye drink
Good day, but got a sunburn as we were part of an unexpected protest march for the school.
They have been for 3 years in a crapy substandard location and they want to move into the new school before the school year is out (mid January). Great to have this as my first protest march in life!
of course this (two hours in the morning sun) happens when I for once did not slap sunscreen on!
