First Days

So I have arrived safely. It was about 2am when we landed. Following that was slow baggage load on to the bus and the driver getting lost leaving the car park. Finally made bed for 4am - with breakfast a few hours later. Its all very organised, calm and friendly.

I have been lucky enough to meet a current VSO volunteer who is helping out with this weeks training who has come from Abi Adi. It sounds excellent with lots to look forward to. We are staying at the Red Cross Training Centre in the capital where myself and 50 other volunteers (a very large group for VSO) are sharing a dial-up connection. We have also discovered that nobody can text or phone outside the country - although I have received your messages.

It may be a while before I get another chance to post (as access to the blog does not work), text (all blocked) or send emails (very slow) - so thanks once again for all the final bon voyage messages.

The future is looking slow but very good.
