With the storms subsiding and the rain thinning we head out for the day and end up at Monotapu beach on what turns out to be the windy west coast.

On route we stop to look at a colony of what look like bats. 'See him upstairs?' says a passing man on the roadside, 'He flying fox. Only fly at night.'

When we return to our guesthouse, we find an installation team from Tonfon installing the awaited upgrade of internet services. The new system will be 64k broadband but with considerably less latency and will improve consistency in communications between lightbox and sensor.
