Sunday 18th August- Alyx and Sophie

IT’S THE WEEKEND!

Yes, weekends are as exciting here as they are at home, so that means a lot of sleep and doing nothing. Most people had a much needed lie-in followed by a late breakfast, more lazing around and possibly some more sleep. We all had a late lunch in preparation for tonight’s outing to a traditional restaurant/nightclub. We were picked up at 6.30 for our journey into Gondar. On our arrival we were all a bit sceptical but soon found that the food was good and the dancing even better, particularly when they got some of us to join in, including the leaders. After a fun night we all went to bed tired but glad of the sleep the next morning.

Not as much lazing around on Sunday as we were going out for lunch to the Goha hotel. It was rather fancy and we all had a three course meal, including cake! We were all very excited when we heard there was cake. Came back to the hotel to discuss our final day on the project and how the closing ceremony would be conducted, we had to sort a lot of the stuff that is going to be donated to the school and the children. Many of us also had to sort out suitcases ready for our departure to the Simian Mountains on Wednesday.

Bye for now!
