Another observation that I have made. All buses here are using Jake brakes.
The jack fruit is a melon shaped starchy vegetable that can reach a length of 3 feet, and weigh up to 100 pounds, making it the largest tree-borne fruit in the world. The fruits grow both from the tree trunk and from branches in the tree. They have a rough spiny skin and the uncut ripe fruit has a strong unpleasant smell, resembling rotting onions - but the cut fruit has a strong aroma similar to papaya or pineapple.
The interior consists of large bulbs of pulp enclosing a seed up to 1 inch long, with from 100 to 500 seeds per fruit. The flavor is similar to pineapple & banana but less juicy. The green Jackfruit unripe flesh is cooked as a vegetable and used in curries and salads. When ripe and sweet, it is eaten as a fruit. The large seeds are roasted and have a flavor and texture similar to chestnuts.
This is one of our leg streching spots, which there were very few of.
This is Dee and Poncho. Poncho is trying to learn how to fly and Dee is coaching him.
This is the beach.
This is one of the houses on the beach.
And another one. Chuck liked the Paplapa roofs I think.
This was a most unusual palm tree. Only in the yard so they must of imported them for beauty. This house certainly was beautiful with a pool and gardens of tropical flowers all over.
This is the fruit on these palm's. We had never seen anything like this and was amazed. We later found out there for show only. The fruit can not be eaten. Not like date or coco palms.
this is the other side of the beach. It looks pretty, but it was sort of trashy and smelled of dead fish and garbage. We were a bit dispointed with this area. Actually, if I had not gotten sick, we probley would not of stay the time we did here.
