DAY 3
Awake with the family and enjoy watching a traditional uma come to life.

Following breakfast we set off to observe, and take part in, traditional daily pursuits: sago harvesting, arrow poison making, net fishing in the river for prawns, or whatever the events of the morning may be.

Returning to the uma for lunch, we have time to swim in the creek, lounge in a hammock, catch up on our journals, or enjoy a good book until the afternoon activities begin.

Animal tending, basket weaving, or making loincloths (avats) from the bark of the baiko tree, may be among our afternoon activities.

Dinner and a clan ceremony with the dancing and singing of traditional Sikeri (medicine men) will highlight our night. (Overnight: Malagulet uma).

DAY 4
We're up early with roosters, heading out after a hearty breakfast, for a good day of trekking.

We pass through the government re-location settlement of Ugai -- where we will stop for lunch-- before continuing on to Butui.

Butui is a lovely setting along a clear river where several large clan houses stand proud in the jungle.

We enjoy another dinner together with an extended family and whatever cultural treasures they choose to share with us. (Overnight: Amaloulou's uma --- Butui)
