Day 71 – Thursday 8th April 2010

There were only about 20 students still missing from school today so the class sizes were getting back to the Tanzanian average.

There was little excitement at school, apart from the History teacher teaching a lesson for 1hr45, when it was meant to be only a 40min lesson.

The students just sat there and listened to him go on about timelines. I can imagine the riotous scene if that happened in the UK.

The ward had a further two patients, and Armorel was busy sorting out the final few teething problems. The nurses, who have never worked on a ward before, hadn’t quite grasped their expected role.IMG_3627

I finished early and met Dom, who had been having a relaxing morning. We headed into town where he treated us to a small shopping spree of expensive luxuries.

I had a tube of Smarties with my tea this afternoon!

After a brief rain shower, which has seemingly cut the temperature, we headed out for a goodbye meal for Dom. He leaves tomorrow.

                                                    This is our only supermarket!

We are very sad to see him go. It has been so nice to have someone to stay, someone to talk to in English and someone to show glimpses of our lives.

Thank you so much Dom, and Karien for letting him visit.

We tried a new place for dinner, and although service was just as slow, the food was good.

There are now 3 places to  eat safely!
