Alex did some of the face and all the hair blindfolded but with our vocal guidance.
Here the kids are making clay sausages for me:

Sunday: we had some nice swimming in some great pools just above the top water in this picture. Still too hot to sit in the sun though.

First hut was tucked away in the trees; two sleeping huts and a nice eating area:
