Looking for Wakonai.

Thursday, 9th October.

I have enough seeds of C. wintersii. I want to take them to the university but before that I have a meal.

Kangaroos can't win every time. This one has lost.

Another thing I want to do before leaving is to visit the dormitory of the "flying foxes", the giant fruit-eating bats.
Every night they made a great hullabaloo in the tree under which I slept. I want revenge!!
They roost in two large trees on the other side of the river.
The conditions for photography are the worst you'll ever meet. The trees are very tall so I have to use the zoom. It has branches in the foreground that upset the focus, and the contrast between the sky and the bat is such that I have to overexpose the pictures to be able to make out the bats. In addition, I must not make any noise or sudden movements. So be lenient ...

I didn't reduce too much the size of this picture so you can see the head of the bats.

Now I go to Port Moresby to drop the seeds in the botany lab of the University. They will grow plants for Nathalie & SIL and I will go to the Sede family.
Tomorrow I fly to Alotau.
