After a breakfast of pancakes(!) we said goodbye to the families and set off in our immeasurably slow boat to a third island to have a look around.
Above a picture of the kitchen/dinning room of the family we stayed with. Below a picture of Steban the father of our household.
On this island they have special hats they wear with many meaning from marital state to occupation indicated by various patterns.
All of these Islands are very traditional and this is starting to cause some problems for them. It is rare and frowned upon to marry from outwith the community so by this point it is difficult for them to find someone they aren't somewhat related to. As a result birth defects are at around 3% which is extremely high. I can't see them changing their ways any time soon, however.
Rob naturally bought a hat to indicate that he was single. I'm sure he'll be beating them off with a stick now that he's wearing this...
