Happy New Year!
... the summit view! The campsite was cute - little areas bordered with mini hedges. There was the promise of wifi (first time all trip!) but after walking around the entire little village, no such luck. Just small little cabin shops and wooden houses. The word Mzungu follows you round everywhere here. In South America, it's Gringo. In Indonesia its Bule. All meaning white-foreign-person. Imagine walking down the ...

We even got to see where Freddie Mercury (from Queen) lived as he was born on the island. It was a great tour and we learned a lot about the history of the island.
