We have arrived!

So after taking an age to work out how to change the language on this computer from Arabic to English, Kirstie and I (Emily) have made it finally to leave you another post! Woo!

Last night we stayed at the MAGGA HQ where we had a 3 hour powercut to start off with. Which was the longest one we've had yet! We had a slight problem when Ruth shut the door and Elizabeth tried to open it the door as jammed!! After much panic Lorelei saved the day and heaved the door open allowing us to escape.

We got up at around 5.30 to travel to Mangochi where we are doing our next training. It took us 4 hours to get here in a very squashed truck which included our driver, Ruth (one of the national trainers), Kirstie, Emily and Elizabeth in the cab with hand luggage, cabbages and carrots and the others in the back of the covered pick up truck with all the bags and 200 eggs (10 of which are now stained on Kirstie's bag). Along the way we had people trying to sell us food through the windows, beautiful scenery and people waving at us as we went past.

When we arrived we were driven to several hotels which we looked at but there was no room at the inn with some or didnt do dinner! We eventually found a hostel where we are sharing in two's our own small house which is interesting... Elizabeth and Hayley have found a scorpion in their sink, Lorelei and Ruth have no hot water and Emily and Kirstie have a broken toilet seat!

We have just chilled out this afternoon which has been needed and are looking forward to starting training tomorrow with the Young Leaders and Guide Leaders!

Lots of love
