Well Folks, the site went down this morning and despite our best efforts we could not enter our rivetting blog. We suspect that this may have something to do with the ammount of message traffic our blog is attracting so please slow down the number of hits you're making Sarah and Martyn.

We got up early again and went on roof for breakfast. This is the first toaster we have come across which doesnt have that strange setting that burns toast to an inedible crisp? This one just warms up the bread and then pops! After breakfast we decided to give the Sanakan National Forest Park another try, having failed to get there yesterday.
