Photo 4 Me at Cape Ma clear where we went for the first weekend i was in Malawi and the place we are going to watch ENGLAND IN the Rugby FINAL, this weekend!!
Us four rocked the festival and dance so hard, so many giggles and stayed in tents for the four nights. It was up in Chincechie so only a 6 hour drive, which is nothing in African terms. Lots of people there from UK and it was really strange seeing and being with so many white people not to mention having some sort of atmosphere. We all enjoyed it so much and really wanted it to carry on. Sat on the beach in the day time next to the Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac and co. Also saw the Malawi legend Lucias Bander, who we listen too quite a lot on the way too and from the hospital.
Met some amazing people and one Dutch guy who is cycling around the world!!!
Tom and Chris were from the UK and had a laugh with them. Which leads me to my next week as returned on a Monday and worked at the hospital doing ward rounds, tooth extraction, IV lines, anti natal check and assisting deliveries. (all in a days work you know!!;-)
The guys from the festival had been in touch and on Thursday it was declared a holiday so Tom invited us to the Academy which is near Kasungu. It is a boarding school and Madonna sponsored some children to go there, along with the rich Africans and state funded children. They teach A levels etc. In the end only i went and it was brilliant facilities even for our standards. Swimming pools x2, Tennis courts x5, squashx2, and really up to date books and teaching facilities. Played on the Golf course twice and really enjoyed it, more than i thought. They didn't believe I've only been on the driving range!! I was really cool just to be with lads and i miss that a lot being in a house of 11 women and only 2 lads. Watched ENGLAND in the cricket, football and then the Rugby, which we were all in a daze about. Also learn't how to play poker and think ill be doing that a little more too.
Planning this weekend to go to see Lucias Bander play at a local club. (40min drive) then see ENGLAND on saturday.
Hope evryone ok and ill try and put more photos up soon.
