Tuesday 14th and Wednesday 15th October

Tuesday started with a few little jobs to do. Mostly we aimed to get the all the details for the trip from Holy Trinity, Crawley sorted. It seems this was achieved easier than I thought. With one call to the Hotel 5.10 by the Bishop and a trip to the airport transfer office in town we were set. A very happy and easy solution! We then continued to finish off some small parts of admin, I won’t bore you with the details. Then the important part of the day arrived and we were off to the beach. We took the ball and within minutes of arrival we were playing a game of piggy in the middle with two local kids Ali and Antony. They were nice boys and didn’t speak much English. I reckon the older of the boys had the making of a good footballer(he must have megged Loz about 30 times, needless to say he cried alot when we got home!!)

A few days ago we went out asking the prices for some large fans and a mattress for the house. So while we were at the beach we asked Fatta to go off and get the African price. When he rang to inform us the prices, everything was now three times cheaper so we sent him off to get them. He also bought us a new toilet seat (after Dunc broke the old one in two days of arrival), praise the Lord now no painful sitting positions.

We spent three hours just relaxing at the beach. I was hoping the tan would be good by now but not to worry, Loz’s nose is so bright it makes up for both of us. Good times!!

Wednesday was a big day. We were going to visit three of the main schools in town. Holy Trinity, St Philips and Bishop Crowther. By the end of the visits, we looked absolutely shattered. That was probably because we were and are. We have just settled down with a glass of something strong and the hope that the England match might be on at the seafarers. Come on the lads.
