namuamua

Updated: May 23, 2025

I felt cramped sitting in a canoe all day, but I enjoyed myself in spite of the continuous and heavy rain. Late in the afternoon we arrived at the small village of Namuamua, on the right bank of the river, with the village of Beka on the other side. We were given a small hut all to ourselves, and we fared sumptuously on duck and boiled yams.
