Village life...

We had an afternoon of meetings lined up, but the morning was free, so three of us went off exploring. We wandered out past the airport and down through this village, where we were welcomed with smiles and greetings.

There were old dug out boats at the waterside and fish drying in the sun on the tops of the stone walls...

The bigger bottle with no label is the national Rosema beer, Nacional, brewed in the north of Sao Tome...

In the evening, music and dancing in the Pestano resort...
