Fascinating; thanks. It looks a bit like some of the islands off of Scotland.
No dentist? I would last a couple of months at most! The "wee" hospital is not a comforting thought. I think it would terrify me to be so remote from crucial services. But I suppose if one is born there it different. They are probably a healthy, hardy bunch, aside from the asthma.
I always wonder about that too, @Bookplate . Apparently they have a cadre of dentists and physicians that rotate in and out. Ditto their clergy, I think.
Imagine what it must have been like in the past. If you were about to give birth, and had complications-- but the appropriate facilities and doctors are 1500 miles (a week's boat trip) away in Capetown! That is scary!
