Ascension day 2

Tuesday 5th March 2013

helpful policeman showed me where the turtles nest near the pier. So down there after dark. Amazing. An enormous green turtle heading into the soft sand to lay her eggs. No photo though, as camera fooled by darkness and flashgun would be so antisocial for a lady about to give birth.

Crayfish for dinner – who said that there were only 3 items on the menu and that they repeated after 3 days?

Photo to follow once I leave this awful bandwidth and internet access lockdown behind. I mean, this island is totally dedicated to SigInt. More aerials and dishes than you could easily count. Yet for the princely sum of £10 you can have 24 hour access on one machine only for the duration of the 24 hours at the blisteringly fast speed of 0.44mbps. Now by my maths that works out at 30 times more expensive than my broadband at home and .. and this is a big AND .. 30 times slower.

As they say, go figure (the answer is Cable & Wireless)

PS apologies for the date at the top of the post being different from the date I am writing about .. I’m sure that I will figure this out .. as they say, RTFM
