July 12    Today, wait 2 hours at Bupati Office for paper for Perhubungan.   Visit   Dinas Kesehatan again - to request paper for Padang Police.   We can see   Dinas Perhubungan after 3 pm.   In between, we visit Lawyer to pick up Melioni’s replaced Birth Certificate, and Melioni’s Parents permission to travel with her outside Indonesia – it is granted.   Then we visit Stella Maris to get pictures of serious goitre patients for Mr Mark Izzard to operate on - unfortunately Sister Gertruda not there today.   Next we travel to Internet Cafe to post update.   Walk to wharf with Melioni, and then back to Sorake for a beach swim with Melioni.

July 13   I did hope to receive all Bupati, Perhubungan, and Kesehatan letters – but ‘nothing’ ready!   Three sick Surfers with cuts, abrasions, and infections from the Reef. One Surfer required sutures.
