Indo once again

Ahhhhh, finally descent surf again... This was on the search for small waves for Soso. I couldn't resist and had to take a bath for a while

unfortunately the big ones were closing out.....

Coconut-high rope course

The best coconut farming system I've seen so far in this world (pic: Soso)

Nothing to do

so off to the botanical gardens

where the flying foxes grow on the trees

in the train once again

I don't know if there are many countries where this happens to you on public transport....

Inside the rubber factory

On the way to the top of Diyaluma waterfall you pass a rubber factory. First the workers explained the way to me and on the way back they invited me to have a look at their factory. I didn't miss out on that one. This picture was what I already knew: the tree gets cut in an angle and the leaking liquid is collected 

the rest was new to me. The liquid gets collected. One bowl equals 3 days per tree

This stuff gets pressed with the tool in the middle of the picture

then you make a lot of smoke and hang'em up in the smokehouse

until they reach soothercolour

then you pick out the bad ones and send the rest of the material all around the world
