Day 8 – Thursday 4th February 2010

We were saved in the nick of time. We didn’t have enough power on the laptop but luckily just as the warning light started flashing the power returned. The only problem is we are now out of DVD’s.

Today was a challenging Kiswahilli day. The negative tense, but we both are starting to feel as though we can understand things and are getting to the grips with the structure of the language.

The power is off again, so we are heading off to the hills beyond our banda to see what we can find.

Snakes are supposedly everywhere so we walked slowly and fought off the flies and hundreds of other flying insects, and a giant millipede.IMG_3780  It has gone very cloudy and every afternoon the thunder seems to come rumbling in and we have rain. The smell is wonderful but it does bring the bugs out too. So we head home but…

Ants! Biting Ants!

Not a welcome addition to the family as they cling to and eat your legs and ankles. The only cure is stripping and showering. Luckily no one else was around!
