Walking through the mangrove swamp

There are two ways that we can go to the garden when we’re in the village. The shorter way involves walking through the mangrove swamp, and it can only be done at low tide as we walk through the river, which rises with the tide.

Here’s me walking through the river between the mangrove trees on our way to the garden:

After a while we leave the river and walk over the mangrove roots, which can be a bit of a challenge when you’re a rebel like me and don’t wear your shoes!

Here we are walking through the water again on our way back to the village. This particular day, I had cut my leg with a bush knife/machete, so I was trying to make sure that I kept the cut above the water!

Trip to Teabes

We visited a village area called Teabes during our last village stay. This is our village grandpa’s home village, so it was nice to see where he used to live and meet some more Teop people.

We travelled by motor boat and on the way we passed these tiny, uninhabited, rocky islands, which we can always see from Hiovabon. They looked quite photogenic as we passed.

There was lovely white sand beaches at Teabes.

When you go to Teabes by motor boat, you travel through some mangroves to get there. They had some cool reflections in the still water.
