Hey!!! Well I guess this will be my last blog as I´m going home on Friday...boooo!!! The last part of the South America trip has definately been the best! Brazil is officially my favourite country! Well the city tour in Montevideo wasn~t the best...in fact about 5 people out of our group managed to fall asleep on it!!! Its not the most exciting city! We went out in the evening though and had a pretty big night so I guess that made up for it! We went to a bar that had a live band playing salsa music so we all [View Full Entry]

Hola chicos! (thats hello guys for those of you that don't speak spanish!) I've had a busy few days so lots to tell you all about! When I left you last I said we were going out in Sydney for a pub crawl in rave gear...well the selection of rave equipment in Sydney wasn't the best so we did what we could and went as rave chavs instead! Anyway it was a great night...although a bit messy! (see pics!) Sunday was supposed to be a day of rest but Kate got me up and persuaded me to come shopping in Bondi [View Full Entry]

Hello! I know I said I'd write more often but I feel like I've been dead busy. Looking back on it though, haven't really done much! I guess I'm just lazy! Last Last Thursday we went to Prison Island. Its called Prison sland because the Zanzibarians started to build a prison there. When it was finished, however, there was a massive outbreak of cholera on the mainland so the building was used as a quarantine facility for people showing symptoms coming across to the islands. Now the building is a very expensive restaurant but the island is also home to a [View Full Entry]

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't written in a while but have been quite busy here so got loads to tell you....you might want to get yourself a cuppa because this could take a while! The first Monday I was here was Easter Monday so no-one went into the hospital. It was also Brian's (one of the medics) birthday so to celebrate we had a sunset dhow ride from Stone Town. It was really nice and there was a band playing as well as lots of wine! When we came back we had a bbq and a house party (which involved 6 [View Full Entry]

Hey eveyone! Happy Easter! Hope you're all ok. I've been a busy bee this week so I'd better get started!!! To be honest, my week started off pretty quietly. Monday we went to Coco Beach, the hotel and beach resort and sunbathed all day (got a nice top-up to my tan!) Monday night we all went out for a chinese because Matt was leaving Tuesday and I was leaving Wednesday. After driving around for about 20 minutes in the taxi trying to find the place (the taxi driver insisted he knew where he was going!) we sat down and ordered our [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone! Wow this has been a pretty long week looking back on it but it seems to have flown by! Last Saturday was a really good day. we went into Osu, which is a part of Accra that is quite touristy and I got a pizza from the food court...let me tell you now...after not having any dairy for 3 weeks that cheese was heaven!!! In the afternoon we all went to Accra stadium to watch the world cup qualifier between Togo and Cameroon! Apparently Togo can't play their home matches in Togo because there is too much fighting so [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone!!! Well I think I left you last time with the news that our company had gone bust and we had to pay our money again to stay in the compound...well a lot of people couldn't afford to do this so they were told that they had to leave on Tuesday...it was pretty sad and it meant that there were only about 10 of us left out of about 30! I'm just glad that it wasn't me because I'm not sure how well I would have coped after being in Ghana for only a week. Anyway I went back up [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone!!! Well....what a week!!!! There won't be any photos on this blog cos I'm at an internet cafe but will try to put some in the next one! On Monday night we went out for a few drinks to a bar about 20 mins from where we're living...it was pretty much like being in Spain or Greece drinking outside and its still so hot at 1am its crazy!!! Plus its like 1.5 cedis (75p) for a pint so it makes it even better!!! Anyway I didn't think I was too drunk but we left for the academy on Tuesday and [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone! Well when I last left you I was just abot to set off for Ghana and I wasn't too apprehensive about it...well when I got off the computer that night I just thought to myself "Jane, what the hell are you doing?!?!". Anyway my flight from Manchester to LHR was good and I managed to meet up with a few people who were going out with the same company so that helped to relax me a little bit as it seemed like we all had no idea what to expect! The only other girl going out with me was [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone! Well its the night before I leave for Ghana so I thought I'd try my first blog! Naz I'm copying you on this one but I enjoyed reading yours so much that I thought I'd do my own! I'm not sure how I feel at the moment. I don't think I'm really scared or apprehensive but it hasn't really sunk in that I'm leaving tomorrow for a year! (Ok maybe I am a little bit scared!) For those of you who don't know exactly what I'm doing, I'm going to do 4 weeks physiotherapy volunteering in Ghana, 6 weeks [View Full Entry]
