South Africa 6 - good, relaxing, frustrating times!

So, we didn't exactly get to Howick on Thursday as it rained in Howick - so there wasn't exactly much point in having a picnic. So essentially we didn't do much.
Nothing much on Friday either - although we have been out a couple of times on shopping trips and one unorganised late night cinema trip!

That's been fun in the sense that we're not really under pressure to do anything. No one has been onsite at all really, most people are on holiday and making the most of it! It's also been incredibly frustrating as these last two days have felt like an incredibly long time! We're all looking forward muchly to Monday - with some apprehension - but we have all got some kind of vague idea where we will try to head out to on Monday morning - so hopefully all should go smoothly!

On Tuesday we are going out to one of the creches in the townships and on Friday we're going out to help out with a feeding scheme at a community centre - which will take up most of the day. So while this week isn't going to be a full week of work in our projects its still going to be pretty hardcore!
I think now thursday and friday are over its alot easier to look ahead to next week and really enjoy the weekend.

This morning (saturday 3/5) the guys cooked pancakes for us girls :D even though we ended up having long lie-ins because of our cinema visit last night! It was so nice! They were so great about it and even spent some time encouraging us girls - such gentleman - when they want to be!
joking :P
We also had a really great devotional time together as a team which was challenging but ended on a really upbeat note and has made me feel reallly positive about the week ahead.
I think that its starting to hit home for a couple of people that we're not here for a holiday but here to work.
For me, that hasn't hit yet, I'm not entirely sure that it needs to (we shall see)
it's been interesting!

we've also decided what to eat and what to do 2nite - which is unexpectedly organised of us - considering our pattern over the last few days!

So this week is looked forward to and hoped for.
Let's hope things run smoothly!!

Peace out x
