Hello all! So sory its ben a very long time since my last blog and once again i justspent the majority of my alloted (and VERY expensive) internet time checking facebook. Its a very dangerous thing... thus this may be abit rushed, once again. Actually, when is it not?
ANYHOO... teaching is now finished gone done and dusted. My last week at school was full, hectic, stressed and VERY emotional. We did little teaching and intead focused more on drawing exersies. Kisololi made folders which i then sorted all their artwork that theyve done over the past half term to give them on our last day. the swings went up!!! Very exciting, caused a bloody riot! Also, none of the kids, or adults have the faintest idea how to swing! It was very funny, Mr Mushi, one of the workshop teachers got on to try and propmtly fell off. Ive really never seen anything quite so hilarious. By the time it was my go i was in my element. I feel sorry for the poor child who tried to push me. nono. i can do this swing malaki by myself thankyouverymuch! so soon i was off up in the sky at the same time as trying not to let my skirt fly up and all teachers and kids 'awwed' with suitable amazment. I spent the afternoon of the next day teaching some standard 6's the technique, think they got it in the end!
The teachers held a party with was a very nice (if rarther akward) occasion, but of course in true african styl, with plentiful food and sodas! Mr mbowe made a really nice speach, me and rach sang (that was unexpected but in the end we did a rarther impromptu and nice version of joseph any dream will do...) and we were presented with Kitanga (african matierial) which is rarther nice,. Then the kids did some dancing and singing and it all got a bit to much for both of us,
HELL I MISS THOSE KIDS SO MUCH!
Tuewsdayafter we flew to nairobi, spent night there then onto Uganda. In Uganda did some bacis adreniline junkieing. White water rafting at the sourse of the nile. EPIC GRADE 5 RAPIDS, thrown and flipped out many a time. In one rapid we also got to try body boarding on the wave (a 12 ft on bdw) which i managed and was AWESOM! Best moment was on the third day going down the last rapid at Tundra, raft was smaller and thus more 'extreme'. nearly flipped and everyone, including the guide was thrown into the prapid, EXCEPT ME! VOICTORY! felt wicked.
right, well, now is the moment that i have been deliberatig oer for a while. As i told my parents i wouldnt do it then did. however it cannot go unmentioned becuase was so epic. Also, may i add rafting is SO much more dangerous,
so yeah, between 2nd and 3rd day went bungee jumping. HELL YEAH THAT WASFUN! standing at the top with m feet tied togehter i was fine, shufeled to the edge not so fine, looked down. deffo not fine but had to keep face becuase the instructor was rarther hot. then, just as i the thought, 'maybe my sanity has actualy cracked' drifted across my minds as i looked into the vast gap of nothingess below me. very far away was the the nile. then the hand on the shoulder the words THREE TWO ONE BUNGEE and sundenly that nothingness was filled by me and shrieks of surprise.
As i am so small i bounced alot, wich wasnt so fun, but the free fall, WOW THAT WAS FUN. deffo wasnt long enough though. the whole thing was over in 45 seconds, the headache that remaind from handing upsidedown being lowered into the raft remained for two hours. The beer lasted longer. I never finish beer. its gross.
Anyhoo, then we traveled up to a place called entebbe and staed the night in a zoo. great fun but becuase of my adreneline antics my back had siezed to such an extent that i couldnt move from the horizontal position of my bed. so missed out there really. Then a HORRIFIC 30 hour bus journey happend and we arrived back in kenya. Now on the pristine and blindingly white coast. However, although rainy season has finished in Tanzania and uganda, our taxi driver from the bis station happily informed us that here it was just starting. Its raining. again.
so, in three weeks im home and i daresay it will be sunny right to the moment i land, and which point the rain wil start.
hope all well
