Morning time on our balcony.
The traffic has not started and some people are walking to work.
The sun is rising to the left and catching the trees on the right.
We have been wonderfully lucky.
We have been saying goodbye to friends, sometimes several times over, and giving things away. Here are a couple.
Pepe is a Samoan Kiwi and has been going great work with preschool teaching as a Kiwi volunteer with VSA. This is just outside the Post Office. She has beautiful lilt in her voice which we later found was typical Samoan.
Tony and Sue are an inspirational couple who have been in Santo for over 20 years. They are of the Baha'i faith and started a school for a few children and now have over 300 pupils. They teach the children respect and tolerance. if only the rest of the schools of the world would follow their example. Tony is solid Yorkshireman who still has a passion for cricket.
Cyclone Jasmin was doing its worst out in the Coral seas but our last morning was beautiful. They had flown all the planes to Santo and we spent all day in the airport before eventually leaving at 5pm.
This gave Annie an opportunity to nip back into town to say goodbye to those she had missed!
A contingent of loyal supporters came from NCYC to see Annie off.
