Here is rather arty photo of the scrubs flying on the line like Nepalese prayer flags and the little writing on the flags if it was there would've been praying for coconut bread, coffee from Atiu or the half-chance to get to Tokelau Jim on our last day to get a little souvenir of our stay that Elmah had kindly offered to us.
In the end we didn't make it to Tokelau Jim but we took away our own souvenirs and we left a little something behind.
Apart from some quality souvenirs that we managed to stuff into our cases - our shell necklaces that the girls had attached their sweet farewell messages to, a great wooden Tangaroa with a penis to his ankles, a Jet Blast T-shirt ( I knew they'd have them at the airport ! ) and tops, hats, thongs and flowers and necklaces - we can remember how we all went out with Elly to help her perform her night-time epidural on the poor mama pig and how she stitched her back up and we were invited back by the pig's owners to share dinner with their family. And how we ate their tuna and chicken chop suey and Banana as part of main course, " We eat banana with everything here ! " and how when we left, the lovely mother of the family waved goodbye to us and said, " Goodbye, family, goodbye."
So maybe we left a little something behind.
We also left a lot of thongs behind, too.
