You arrived on the camion all tired and weary
\nthe hours of bumping\"\"<\/a> making your eyes look all bleary
\nwe can’t believe six weeks has passed
\nit really has gone so very fast
\nwe hope you’ve had a blast and a ball
\nbecause the things you’ve done have been far from small<\/p>\n

After your efforts, the beach was pristine
\nCompared to before it was a sight to be seen
\nRichard was here and Ruth was a bit stressed
\nBut she needn’t have worried, he was more than impressed.<\/p>\n

Someone brought vao vao, it was up there with the best
\nA fisherman in Lamboara had found a turtle nest
\nTo be made into an omelette was to be the hatchling’s fate
\nbut because of all you, they are now protected – which is “turtly” great!<\/p>\n

Now onto Radoko’s favourite subject, which as you all know
\nis condoms\/kapoty and putting on a show!<\/p>\n

So then there was the play
\nwhat a marvelous ground-breaking day
\nYou and me together in true camaradarie
\nall last minute, but you showed great bravery
\ndelivered in a brilliant impressive style\"\"<\/a>
\neven with the recent absence of Eamonn and Kyle<\/p>\n

Thanks to you all for this momentous event
\nTo Radoko you will never know how much it all meant
\nA ceremony in the village, and everyone went down
\nTokagasy at lunchtime when the pseudo-environment minister came to town<\/p>\n

Now as well as all these events that happened the last few weeks
\nA few fishy tales will be remembered as one of the peaks
\nwe all had a laugh – it was a bit of a farce
\nespecially Debbie’s great big white ****!
\nAnd Sam regaled us with a fantastic story
\nWhich was in parts hilarious and in others a bit gory!
\nTori & Vic sang us a great song
\nsnapping the limelight, they could do no wrong.<\/p>\n

Getting lots of science completed as well as having fun
\nyou will be pleased to know that we got everything we needed done.<\/p>\n

To Bevato some travelled in search of baobabs and mangroves
\nbut we spent a great deal of time just \"\"<\/a>
\nwatching praying mantis and gekkos
\nLiving on a prayer and summer of 69
\nAt the tops of our voices, it all sounded fine?!
\nWe mustn’t forget those that have already gone
\nand of course Ruth teaching us a song about a “guy called Ron?!?”<\/p>\n

With all those handsome guys and pretty girls so fair
\nIt is only right that there should be romance in the air
\nso now you’re heading off to Canada, Switzerland or Devon
\nBut when you get back you will dream of Andava and expedition 37!!!!<\/p>\n
