PARCELS

Parcels are turning out to be the bane of our lives. Not only the receiving of, as you have been made aware of in the blog, but now in the sending. There is a small boy having a birthday at the end of the month, and I have been sitting in 30 plus degree heat knitting!!! Yes, and now the item is finished and needs to be posted. So we trotted along to the post office yesterday to find out 2 things. The parcel has to be open for inspection, so the fancy paper I had uncrumpled and recycled will have to go, and we need a black and white copy of our passport. Friday pm, and the agent has our passports to get the exit stamps. Office not open on Saturdays, so departure will now be after an 0800 trip to the post office, which in the nature of post offices is as far from the boat as you can get witout leaving town. Not a problem according to the nice post lady as parcels don't leave till Wednesdays anyway as they go on the weekly boat. ..
That might give Alex time to grow a bit...

That is if the agent turns up with the diesel ( he took the jerrycans yesterday) and the documents we need to go.

Next stop about 43000 miles at Hiva Oa.
