The former Dutch government house. The jail is in the basement
Thanks, Vera, for taking this picture of us together!

Bicycles were going round and round the square.
Sunday entertainment for the family.

Bicycles - pink, yellow, green, blue, with pith helmets and straw hats -
all for rent to get the Dutch colonial experience.

Kids having so much fun "playing Dutch"

Bill doesn't quite blend in with the crowd . . .
especially after borrowing Sue-On's hat for shade from the hot tropical sun.

Bill visits the Fertility Cannon
 The Portuguese cannon comes with a hand ornament showing a fico gesture,
which is believed by local people to be able to induce fertility in women.

"Hello...What's your name? Where do you come from?
Any chance to practice our English!"

Our group of 11 were asked to pose with a group of students
