After cleaning the turtle there isn't a lot left to eat. A 7 kilo turtle gives up about the same amount of meat as a 1 kilo chicken. Naturally, there are twice as many legs on the turtle, but somehow they weren't quite as appetizing as a nice barbecued chicken leg. We used dugout canoes to get from location to location. Here, Basha and his brother paddle back to camp with a handsome passenger.
Dugouts feel very tippy, but are remarkably stable.
I'm holding my fancy Teflon coated blowgun in this photo. It turned out to be an excellent hunting weapon, when used with the native poison tipped darts. We think you'll enjoy every moment of it. I'm still processing what I saw and learned. Much dream time goes into these experiences.
