Kupang - picture story delayed due to network coverage

Tinker and Robert with lots of their new friends marvelling at the pictures from different places and waiting for the empty glass bottles they can exchange for money.

20th of September in Lovina Beach North Bali This is really the first time that we have access to reasonably fast (that means not really slow) Internet. Since it has been such a long time since we have posted anything I will try to update you as soon as possible and as much as possible.
This is  Kupang's story...enjoy we have.

And the boats....

The dinghy hustle and bustle...everything happens here so fast

The view from the fish market...such a contrasting one. The wealth and maybe not so much wealth...???

This man was absolutely on a mission to sell me the flying fish...he gave me such good price

Typical fish market...one will find most things here...fish pigs of all shapes and ages cats dogs old boats new boats being built gamblers drinkers very old man trying to sell their fish poverty and wealth...it is all here

And the trade goes on

All can trade here...one common thing - everyone was happy!!!!!!!

The fish market...well this was our arrival by water..fish guts pigs and smiley helpful faces. An experience not to be forgotten. and many lessons learned,

Smoky Kupang...there is regular burning of rubbish early in the morning and at 5 pm.

Enjoying the ride in a very very HOT bemo with our guides

And this is the Bemo like a little bus it has a number very original decoration as well as incredibly loud music and tiny seats. Air con 4 ways only if one is lucky.

The "boys" and the perpetual chooks. They always seem to be around.

Typical Kupang

Our Cognac team at our first gala dinner which is a very formal affair where Tinker gave the very first speech which had to be "from the heart"It can be unexpected what we are capable of when need arises.

A lone fisherman...very regular sight.They fish for the smallest fish...tiny small.

 

Our first dinner at the incredibly vibrant local market - fish and nasi goreng

Tinker with the always friendly local kids

The local market scene...sleeping is normal one gets really tired in this heat.
