🏝️ Trying to upload for hours. Giving up. These might make it through. Hopefully.
See you tomorrow.
❌ On the other hand, a super day for photos, but no cell network, and wifi. The whole day. This country still has a serious infrastructure problem.
🍀 Wouldn’t you know it? The Financial Times photographer has a Q, and he said he’ll leave the charger behind. I’ll mail it to England when we’re back home!
Photographers unite!
🛶 Anyway, if things go according to plan, it should be a cool day.
Airport pickup; drive to Roça; pick up the photographer who arrived yesterday; drive to Bom Bom, with stops along the way to shoot; lunch; boat ride to Baía das Agulhas, where I went with Mr McCullin two years ago.
🎥 A video crew is arriving today. I might have to keep them company while they’re on the island, while movieStar handles other stuff. Still unsure. We’re picking them up in a bit.
It’s still raining. But we’re going to the airport, and that means we’ll be able to get bread from the good bakery.
😫 Off to bed. It’s been a shitty day, and tomorrow is Sunday. Bracing for 5AM CHURCH BELLS!!
👓 It’s “insult to injury “, right? tinyMovieStar just broke my glasses. Yay.
🌴 Today’s #palmLove, on the move.
🤓 Wish I had a reason to use this, but I have blogs all over the place already, and not enough stuff to update them with…
Pika.
