GETTING CLOSER NOW!

By Ceire Perks

 As a first time Tag Rugby tourist to Zambia, I am feeling excited but also just a little nervous! I have bought nearly a whole shop load of suncream so very prepared! Good old factor 50.

Victoria Falls By Eva Roberts After being woken up by the sound of the church bells we had breakfast and headed out to coach for the final time.  When we arrived, all the amazing kids were raring and ready to go, all trying their hardest to be picked for the final tournament.  The kids were so cute and even though being exhausted I loved every second of it.

Day 2

Good Evening Everybody.  Apologies wifi is so slow that I have been unable to upload photos as it was taking ages! We will employ new technology from tomorrow - a message attached to a pigeon's leg!!
