Arrival

---

Hi guys,



We have finally, after a 32 hour journey, arrived at the deaf school in Tirunelveli. The plane journeys went like clockwork however after arriving in Trivandrum we ended up waiting at the airport for another 4 hours waiting for the coach which did eventually turn up…9 hours later…when we had already left. This did however allow us to get an eye opening experience of an Indian taxi driving on Indian roads. We have never heard so much beeping in our lives and the way these guys drive is incredible (incredibly scary). We arrived at our destination at about 1ish and although we were all completely knackered we were pleasantly surprised. We had lunch and ate like kings, surprise surprise it was rice and curry. We are certainly getting used to this after having it as our meals on both planes as well. The rooms are...habitable. The beds are basically a sheet of metal and the water/electricity turns completely off at random times but after a hard day’s work I am sure we are going to appreciate these commodities. We are very much looking forward to starting work tomorrow and will be sure to keep updating the blog to keep you all informed.



Love you all
