[status] Good day ashore in search of some fruit and eggs, walked to the windward side of Haafeva where the village is. Found a very sleepy village with two shops, only one was open which was the Chinese one, the other being a local owner. Nothing fresh for sale at the first shop, so ventured further down the main drag and bumped into the other shop owner who said he was taking the day off. We asked him for eggs, he then proceeded to look under his house in the wrecked Toyota but could not find any , he explained they do not lay in the weekend.
Maya was delighted to see many pigs , chickens , ratty dogs , cows and goats. Luckily we bumped into a well known local called Peter who offered us a seat at his outdoors kitchen shed /house. He then darted off into the jungle in search of some fruit, meanwhile we had some nice chats with his sister while she cooked us some delicious tapioca drizzled with fresh coconut milk yummy! I was carbo loaded for a month. Forty minutes later Peter turned up with green coconuts, papayas, spring onion, lemons.
Back to the boat to try our luck at making a egg free birthday cake for Maya's first birthday!
