Into the jungle, to gather Island Apples
I made a fantastic connection with the chiefs daughter-in-law Vivien, When we collected the washing she asked us if we would like to go for walk to another village inland, we eagerly agreed.
unfortunately when we arrived to go Vivien was unable to go as her baby was sick, instead she sent 3 divine little pickinnies with and sent us to a place in the jungle where we picked Island apples, they have flesh that is more like a pear and the flavour is like a nassi pear.
The jungle was dense and mossies by the ton exactly what I had expected only more beautiful! I realy didn't know there were so many shades of green
It was an interesting experience and the little kids sang all the way back to the village!

these kids never stop smiling! and happily climbed high into the trees to pick fruit for us. I rewarded them with a few lollies and a few coins and a promise that I would post a photo of them when I returned to Melbourne
