Blog Extra: The sights, sounds and smells of Africa!

Good Morning to All

Just a few notes as I had to get up early to move our minibus to allow an overland truck to get out of the compound.
You can never pick up on the true Africa from television programmes - it is only when you are there that the sight, sounds and smells really come over.  So when I went in to the boys room yesterday the true assault on the senses became a reality!!!!

Holding my breath for that long was a challenge!

On a more healthy note a few more images form yesterday:

Tournament Day By Hal Williams Hello all, today was an early start as our dorm woke up at 5.40am because of the wrong alarm!  We got to the rugby pitches at 7.30, the teams slowly rolled in and around 20 teams turned up.  We reffed until around 1.30 and gave our second polo shirts to the winners and gave all the spare kit to the schools.  We had classic cheese/ham sandwiches and at 3.45 we traveled to the sunset cruise and ate food and got to see crocodiles, hippos and elephants.  The views were stunning and the trip was different, but enjoyable experience.
