| Honiara and South Malaita |
| 1. The family that hosted me during my stay prepared a custom feast for me on my last night in the Solomons. Here I am wearing red shell money, seated next to my friend Allen and his nephew David. |
 |
 |
| 2. My gracious host Martin (Allen's brother) with his son David. |
 |
| 3. Purely by chance, I happened to meet up with a group of my former Form 6 students at the USP center in Honiara. |
 |
| 4. Spectacular view from on board the Vele on our way from Honiara to South Malaita. |
 |
| 5. The pikinini (children) of Liue on South Malaita were very curious to see a white man in their village and followed me as I strolled along the beach. |
 |
| 6. Allen and I walked to the nearby crocodile-infested lake of Korea. We didn't see any crocodiles, though... I think the pikinini scared them off! |
 |
| 7. Wakio, Allen's cousin, displays "lollies" that the pikinini collected from trees that grew near the lake. They were surprisingly very sweet! |
 |
| 8. After our walk, the pikinini eagerly climbed coconut trees and offered me green coconuts to drink from--these were the sweetest coconuts I had ever tasted! |
