Up at 08:30 we got ready& headed over to the international school for football. When we arrived the manager stated we had 21players for today's game which was almost unheard of. Scotty started in centre midfield but had to come off in the first half with a knee injury. At half time it was 1-1. I made by one off appearance for Bishop Mckensies Old Boys & staff (BOBS) with 25mins remaining in place of Scottu's mate George who I met a few times. Playing in ...

Due to the length of our journey ahead we left at 09:15. Just before check out we had a chance to chat to the head chef.

After breakfast Scotty & I popped over to the country club to see what the golf situation was after the last two days of rain. The course ...

We were on the road by 08:00. Our breakfast was slightly underwhelming & consisted of bread & butter. The rain had not stopped & continued to descend from the heavens. We stopped off at shop rite near Blantyre to pick up some supplies for the next few days. Board games, snacks & some alcohol of course.
