3rd Excursion with biology students, Saturday, 16.2.2014

This was the first training excursion with tourists. Andriu already has some experience with guiding them, so we took him with us. Dunya, Ayrton and Wilson were the participants. Our guests were
Mrs. Pechmann and her daughter Vera from Strass, Leibnitz.
We went to the big valley of Cidade Velha.
The focus was on language training and how to describe trees, flowers, agriculture...

Das sind Bilder vun unserer dritten Exkursion mit Biologiestudenten. Diesmal war es ein Training mit Touristen. Die Opfer waren Frau Dir. Pechmann aus Strass mit ihrer Tochter Vera. Andriu (mit Hut) ist schon ein recht erfahrener Führer. Dunya, Ayrton und Wilson waren die Teilnehmer.
Es ging vor allem um Sprachtraining und darum, wie man Bäume, Blumen, Landwirtschaft erklärt.

There was a very strong wind and I worried that falling coconuts could be a danger for us. But we escaped unhurt.
Der starke Wind machte die Wanderung durch den Kokospalmenhain recht gefährlich!

Local low-tec: these leaves from a banana trunk give an excellent rope if you wet them and roll them in your hands.
