Arrived safely at 11 pm Guyana time, which is 5 am UK time. We are staying at a guesthouse for the first couple of weeks - it is a traditional wooden house in quite a quiet area, although apparently it may be a bit noisier tonight as there is a bar across the road. There are twelve new volunteers who all arrived yesterday, so we are doing the introductions and getting to know the staff at the VSO Office today. Some of us walked up to the sea wall first thing, someone was swimming but it looks pretty muddy as it is close to the mouth of the Demarara river. It was very hot and humid overnight, but we had the fan on low so it was passable. I have not seen a mosquito yet! The guesthouse will be cooking for us - it was bacon eggs and cheese today, with lots of refills of tea, so I am feeling more with it.
Love Kate

ReplyDeleteJust noticed that you're 6 hours behind, not 5, as I guessed in my email. Please can you try to access your hotmail account if at all possible - nothing to worry about, but a swift reply would be handy.
