Oviloo: “I remember Toonoo giving me a piggy-back ride. Up there on your father’s shoulders you get a much better view of the world when you’re a child. This was a day when I was about five. We walked and I fell asleep on his shoulders. When I woke we were at the top of a hill and it was the most beautiful scenery I had ever seen.”
