Day 77 17/11 (Wed) – still at Nanga

Chris had been quite keen to spend only one night at Nanga after the previous afternoon’s fly interaction but seemed to have been soothed overnight and given that we had to try to pick up our post in Denham and get back to some mobile coverage, albeit briefly (none at Nanga Bay) we set off about 10.30 am, leaving Ally and Jeff to snorkel in the bay and then kite if the wind picked up. Initially planned to ring the post office when we got some coverage 3 km back up the road at the junction with the main road into Denham but then decided to just head in as mail doesn’t get sorted until 12 pm anyway. Mail had arrived and gave us the opportunity to sort through it in our favourite Sunset Cafe next door over coffee and cake…….. followed by lunch (calzone and caesar salad)….. then more emailing, etc and eventually the trip back to camp (about 2.30 pm). Wind didn’t look that strong in Denham but turned out that it had picked up ~ 1 pm at Nanga and the rels had been enjoying a good couple of hours of kite surfing without us. Oh well! Ally ran into a couple of German girls kiting there, one of whom she knew from Margarita in Venezuela where she and Jeff normally go to kite. She used to be a pilot with Condor and flew out to Margarita. Had a quick swim and Chris almost got to have a go on the board with Ally’s kite but the wind died completely, so we had to go and hot tub again instead. Shame!

BBQ’d steak for dinner tonight, except Chris who wasn’t feeling the best and had to have dried fruit instead. Few extra campers tonight as well.
