Very detailed travelogue on visiting the remotest inhabited islands in the world: Tristan da Cunha and St. Helena, as well as S. Africa, Malaysia and Singapore, and Indonesia. Very informative, full of tips, history, what it was like to visit and stay there, indexed by country. Visit my webpage for this and other downloadable travelogues: http://www.tcp.com/~lgreenf
These are fascinating islands. Tristan has only 238 people, all with same 7 last names.

Displayed times (last time: )
the announcer
commenting that some people call this bad luck "Napoleon's Curse")...
After the news it was time for the announcements and advertisements
again: an optician would be visiting the island for a shot time in
February -- phone up a local number now to make an appointment by Jan. 26...
Family Planning Services schedules were announced... the Jamestown pool will
be open evenings from Jan. 16 (Tuesday and Thursday from 7:30pm-9:30pm --
adults only -- and Wednesday from 7:30pm-9:30pm for adults and children)...
a pastor on the island is conducting an annonymous questionaire for Saints
relating to changes on the island over the past 10 years... a charge hand
gardener at Plantation House is needed... there was a listing of the times
of various music groups playing at the different discos this upcoming
weekend... more cars being advertised for sale (with the years never given):
a Ford Capri 1600cc insured until July for £1,850/US$2,775 or next offer...
and finally the broadcast once again ended with a religious epilogue.
Misc. info: While staying with Larry & Joy, they would usually lock the
door when going out but always kept the windows open, showing me where the
key would be waiting if I needed to enter. Crime is very low on St. Helena,
and the island lifestyle reflects that.
Jan. 11: St. Helena [Jamestown / Prison / Young Musicians]
Though I slept more last night than I had the last few days, I was still
up by 5:00am... and at 6:30am, I began doing some initial packing to see if
I'd be able to fit everything into my bag now that I had T-shirts and other
items to bring back from St. Helena.
Over a light breakfast (cereal and yoghurt from the Spar) I talked to Joy
and Larry for a bit... airplanes don't fly over St. Helena much -- Joy
mentioned that she usually hears one flying overhead
