Port D'Ehoala

Went on a trip to the Botanical gardens of Saudi. There is some prosperity here as Rio Tinto has been mining for Titanium for 50+ years. So there was a good road and a comfortable coach. When we left the main road and went through the village the road was rougher. It was interesting to see the village life. The highlight was a group of 20+ men and a herd of Zebu churning up a field to prepare for planting rice. It was a total mud bath. In the next field the women were planting the rice.
In the gardens we saw ringtail lemurs, brown lemurs, crocodiles, cameleons and a boa snake.
When we left the gardens the Zebu ploughing was still going on. We drove through the town to the beach for refreshments and a swim. The sea was quite rough. Went back to the ship for lunch and then to the local beach where the sea was a bit calmer.Read more
