The last day we were back with Jimmy and we spent the morning organising washing and shopping, visiting the colourful street markets for our vegetables and fruit. After a disappointing lunch - Liz's dish was chilli hot and Kathy's fish was fried solid - we hired a bemo (small bus) and set off for the countryside. Arriving in the same village as we had visited the previous afternoon we renegotiated our contract and drove a further 10 kilometers to another King's house. We were pretty exhausted when we got back to the boats and very pleased that Jimmy collected our washing on his motorbike. Sumba is different. We were not official guests here so it was another learning curve having to negotiate all our own transport and itinerary. We enjoyed the island and Jimmy was a good guide.
