crazy creatures

this is a spider we found in our room one evening - after some careful deliberation we decided that neither of where brave enough to deal with it, so we called the woman at our place, she then called one of the boatmen (henry) over - we assumer he would use some anchient technique to carefull remove the spider but he just took off his flip flop and started battering the spider with it, but he missed and the spider escaped !

the other picture is a thresher shark which had been caught on the other side of the island - they just chop it up there and then on the beach - very messy indeed!
