text: The night was cold but in the morning I felt almost completely well. As the sun was shining for once I asked for an escort after breakfast just to go quickly to the village while the others were preparing to leave. I felt like an escaped and recaptured prisoner between the five men with their bayonets raised on their rifles ready to shoot. It would have been sad not to have seen Kuthurr as it is a big Yimsungr village, remarkable in several respects.
