We wake in the night to an amazing storm. Praise the Lord, it is raining! It rained for a good 4 hours, which kept us awake for most of the night but who cares.
Today was our first day off, so we would have to decide for ourselves what to do. The first fun came with the irony that even though it had rained all night we woke to no water. We had run out. So we will be using rain water for everything, including bucket showers for the foreseeable future. Our tank gets filled once a month, but when during the month, no one knows. “This is Africa John.”
We had a slow lazy morning and popped into town to buy some juice and check our post box. Nothing in there, but there is not anything in anyone’s post box, the post plane is stuck in Dar so who knows when we will get post.
Today is a day of realisation, we are living in Africa.
However, we did also pick up the mosquito net, and it fits. We finally get to sleep in our proper bed. This is exciting! Added to that excitement is the fact that we have also got some cheese, so we get to have some with our spaghetti tonight.
An afternoon of listening to the world service whilst studying went by and we headed to bed with the thumping bass of a disco pounding in our ears.
Excellent blog keep it up...Sam
