All of the 7th was spent in travelling- from Belgium (now I realise the airport is much bigger!) to London to Lungi airport in SL and then to Freetown via a hovercraft! Fun times! So...the flight to Lungi- I was sitting next to this VERY accomplished lady from Britain who has been to 27 African countries on different projects, her stories were amazing; the men sitting behind me were drunk on the free airplane wine; the bathrooms on the flight were out of water...and the flight was about an hour late...but all in all, it was pretty uneventful and I got in safe. Thanks for all your good wishes :) I was very gald when I got all my luggage too! I took the hovercraft (in picture) from the airport to freetown when it was pitch dark! Quite an experience...met up with my other teammates at a hotel here. We spent the night here and are just about to leave for the hospital...this is where I am writing from!!! My last hot running water shower for the next three weeks!! The beaches are beautiful...there is sea everywhere!! In the hour I spent 'exploring' the town, I found a casino and night clubs-apparently I am in the tourist land of SL. The people here are very nice, very eager to halp and always asking you out!
So, here is hoping to a productive three weeks in the warmth of Sierra Leone!
