Saturday 20th September

Another Day on the Road!
So we woke up in the Vicar’s house attached to the school in Malamo, with the sound of music. It was Fr Freeman(the vicar) playing the recorder. He was quite good but not the way we had planned to wake up. Then our main man Fatta had a go, what a noise!!! The Bishop then lead us in Morning Prayer and we had breakfast(Sardine Sandwiches), they were superb.
In an unusable turn of events one of the vehicles wouldn’t start so we had a bit of a wait and set off at 10.30ish. We were heading to Balama, it was a church and school attached being a Saturday we assumed we would just be having a look around. It had turned out that they had asked the children to come in which was a really lovely surprise. We were welcomed with loud shouts and then went straight into a welcome service. We were introduced and then had a tour of the school. We ended our visit with a meal.
We left around 3.30 to make our journey around the lake Piso down to Robertstown. It was a good journey except that for some reason Duncan and Loz had a naked competition to see who had bigger boobs. Thank God I was in the other car with Mark and the Bishop. We headed straight to the church and were welcomed by Mother Robinson, an American Missionary who is living out her life here. When we saw the view from her house and we instantly knew why it has a glorious view of the beach and the Atlantic Ocean.
We finally came to the accommodation. It was attached to club Piso, down by the lake. For some reason though they had built it off the main road and had it directly opposite the UN barracks!!!! As I later went through the stuff in the room we discovered a box of 100 condoms and the lady who runs the guest house came and told us that all the other rooms would be used later on. Not really sure what that means ...........
