I can well appreciate Mr Kira’s sentiment that his father would turn in is grave to know bananas are not treated with the care he and his family took. A fascinating piece. Thank you.

I was just wondering what to do with my day off and this wonderful slice of history has inspired me to go walkabout today in the environs of Fournier Street and take a few photographs, and walk for a bit in the Kira family’s footsteps. Thank you.
