Jambo! This morning I got up at 6:45am for a shower and breakfast as Vale and I were on morning shift at the orphanage. When I went in to the bathroom Vale kindly informed me that there was no water, and if I wanted to shower it would have to be the traditional African way..... Picking up a 5L bottle of water and pouring it over myself. Any shower is better than no shower, so, I took an African shower. It's not so bad picking up a 5L bottle of water, however, tr...

Jambo! This morning I had a lye in, which was nice. I managed to sleep in until 9:30am as someone started ringing my Tanzanian number... no idea who it was! They kept shouting 'Yani' at me, so I started ignoring the calls. No exaggeration, they must have rang 15 times! Breakfast was one slice of toast, with no butter or margerine, just plain.

Hopefully that will be the end of my bad luck streak! The trip to the airport this morning was eventful, traffic he...

It's currently 02:30am here, I am in ved ready to go to sleep having watched the final of the World Cup. Our flight from Zanzibar was delayed, but not by long, we were waiting to get on the plane whilst people were still getting off of it. I've cleaned up my foot this evening and it's a lot less painful now. Some of the spikes were removed, then papaye juice was rubbed on them in order to bring the spikes to the surface of the skin and draw them out. The spikes...
