Using the laptop computer to send emails.

At night, sitting around the fire outside the tents.

We can communicate with the outside world by using our satellite phone and our computer. We can connect our computer to the phone with a modem, and send emails to the other side of the world! We have to charge the battery with the cigarette lighter in the Land Rover, or using a solar power device. We take photos with a digital camera to send with our emails, so they can be put on the internet in Dallas, Texas, USA.

This picture above is a mongoose, sticking his head up from a hole to see what is going on!

This writhing skink was living in the walls of the hole we are digging.

Here you can see the camp cook, wearing a white hat!

When the washing is done, it is hung up on lines between the trees to dry.

Our laundry is done by a woman from the village nearby. She also makes us fresh bread! When we have showers, we use a solar shower hung from a tree, and hang a shower curtain up to keep private!

After we have dinner by the campfire, we use our torches to look for bush babies in the trees. Bush babies are related to the lemurs of Madagascar, and are called Galago. Their big eyes shine like very bright traffic lights when you shine a torch into the trees.

Honnie and Charles visited the head man of the village. He blessed them and their project. He is 99 years old. One of his sons is helping them work on their project.

They took him a gift of sugar and tea. The village people help us to get water from their well, and helped us to unpack the Land Rovers and set up the camp.

Mr Magwisha's house is made out of mud bricks, and has a flat thatched roof. This photo is of him with his fly whisk and leather pouch of sacred herbs hanging around his neck. It shows that he is a chief.

About ten men from the village work on the dig, helping to dig up the rocks that the scientists need. There is also a guard for the camp, to keep everything safe.
