Wednesday 4th August

It’s been a quiet day so far, a little bit of rain and cool conditions to keep everything calm. The police helicopter has been overhead a few times today, but around me things have been remarkable quiet for a public holiday.
I managed to get a few pics yesterday driving Tiff home, you’ll have to excuse the quality or lack of, it’s not easy taking pictures while driving a 5 tonne truck through Honiara in the traffic, leaning out the window and hoping the truck knows where to go. The biggest procession was Namson Trans’ supporters, he’s standing in West Honiara, it is probably the most hotly contested seat in Honiara. If any trouble starts, West Honiara and Central will be the hot spots with clashes amongst the differing supporters after the tally is announced.







The amount of noise on the roads last night was incredible, with all the various groups driving along Mendana out to Burns Creek and back till about 9pm, cheering shouting, music playing and horns blaring.

It’s been so quiet through the night, I’m beginning to wonder if all the security warnings were needed, but then again, still early days yet. Once the results start coming through and the PM is selected, then it could boil over.
