We tried to get an early start due to the time we had lost yesterday, it was only an hour to Bo, so we had a cracking breakfast of omelette, sausages and a whole loaf of bread each and went to see Canon Tucker before we left. We were soon on the road but after approximately 2 miles the ever cautious Mr Jalloh decided we should turn back as there were still problems with the car. Mark and Lawrence were dropped at the bank and Duncan and Parks went back to Kenema school to do some work while they had some time and Mr Jalloh fixed the car.
Kenema high school had been built with a grant from America and they had extended it with money they had raised themselves. The principal was very switched on and knew what he wanted to do with the school, a computer room was on his list. At the primary school they split it into 2 with an AM school and a PM school.
Mark and Loz had been to the internet cafe and in an unusual turn of events were now enjoying a beer in a bar. Dunc and Parks then went to the internet cafe and then joined the others for a beer and lunch. After, we all went back to Canon Tucker’s house and waited for the car to be fixed, it was around this time that the heavens opened and it lashed it down all afternoon. It was one of the worst storms I have ever seen and it was what the open drains in the road had been designed for! After the rain had appeared to penetrate the veranda we were under we moved inside the house for a game of Uno. When the power went off it turned into blind Uno!
It was decided that we would spend another night in Kenema and after the car had been fixed we went back to the guest house of the previous night and we spent a few hours in the sitting room with a few jars before bed.
