Wednesday, 1st October.
Eric gives me a lift to the airport. I fly to Port Moresby. I go to sleep near the university with the Sédé family as usual. Each trip is an opportunity to change clothes, to prepare what I will carry for the next section of the journey, and to spend the evenings in stimulating discussions.
In addition, every time I copy all my files on to Murphy's computer. He is one of the boys in the family, and a university student.
Should any misfortune happen to my hard drive, I have a backup.
Mike had put me in touch with Nathalie who works for S.I.L. (Originally the 'Summer Institite for Linguistics'). She intends to grow any citrus I find in the SIL gardens in Lae and Goroka. So I decide to go back to the Brown River to find her some seeds of Citrus wintersii.
Thursday, 2nd October.
I'm off to find my Brown River buddies. The atmosphere has changed because the young men of another tribe have been extorting people who use the bridge at night. When night falls everyone is on their guard. This does not prevent me going to get my beer on the other side every night despite the warnings not to go. The store is on the other side ...
Friday, 3rd October.

I go back into the bush to take the GPS readings that I had not been able to do a month earlier because my smartphone had been stolen.
The fruits that had been left as tests have not turned yellow. I dig up some young seedlings and dirt because they wanted to grow them in the concession.

Back home. The fruits to get the seeds.
