Time for action! We found a pleasant, aged Japanese dentist at a private clinic. His English was limited but OK. Unfortunately his xray machine had just broken down so he sent us to the public hospital for an xray. We queued with the locals for an hour, everyone was most kind and helpful. Armed with our xray we went back to the dentist - alas a root canal filling was needed.
Last time Denise had dental problems when we were traveling ( years ago ) we were in Buenos Aires and that was not a happy experience so she was understandably anxious. However all went well and we have to go back tomorrow for follow up attention.
We went to the fish market the other day - fantastic assortment of fish but especially Tuna and mahi mahi. At the stalls here fish and chips means Tuna and chips - unlike NZ where it is shark and chips commonly!
The Manu Samoa rugby team was busy yesterday parading through the streets and a big public meeting with lots of officials and politicians present - all to do with fund raising. Rugby fever is strong here. We saw the All Black V Aussie game on TV last night .
I thought I had been lucky fixing the lights on the mast the other day - but since then the mast head light has failed again and I will be posting it back to NZ - So much for LED lights lasting 20 years!!!
Fortunately the other lower navigation lights are ok as a back up
We had a glitch accessing our regular emails via internet explorer but that is sorted now
We hope to move on later this week
