So today we both woke at 8 were the last ones up from our dorm! Everyone must have gotten up early to catch the busses. Really good showers here, so after making the most of those we headed into the old town part of Lilongwe. Brought some bread and had a look at a new shop they had just opened. It could have been in England with it's 3d tv's and sound systems, kind of a currys with a few isles of food. On the way back, we got seriously hassled by painters, jewel...

Early start as the taxi was due at 715 and are always early, so packed bags, said goodbyes and taxi was indeed here by 7... Felt I'll again this morning, beer/malaria?!? Bit nervous that they wouldn't let us fly because we have no onward flight to Malawi. All went smoothly and apart from a few power cuts the time flew past with blog entries and cards. Net nice black chap who was on route to Frankfurt to a conference on global warming.. We headed to check in 30...

After the late night with milo (semi pro baseball player!!), we had a bit of a lie in as the kids were at school. Yesterday we saw some of the more affluent areas of addis, so decided to have a mooch around there. After a fair walk and speaking to yet again another student we decided as our last night here we would do something more active than a night in. So we changed £10 at western union bank, which took about 30 mins!! Athough good service, and treated ours...

Real early start as kids don't go school today and wake up half 6.... As we slept in the only big room in the house I thought I better get up and clear up!! Tom wasn't pleased with his early start! For breakfast I tried some Papaya, I thought it tasted rather like cheese, although this may be an unfair judgement as I had not long before brushed my teeth!!! Today we were fortunate enough to see the "Ethiopian great run". This happens once a year and is a major...

This morning Tom and I woke up several times in the night to mosquito's high pitched buzzing around our heads. I think we both were a bit worried as we were told malaria is not in addis, and therefore assumed no mozzys!! So not much sleep! Tom was a bit grouchy first thing, I think it's probably because he got leas sleep than me.. We went to an orphanage with kath. The place was in deep suburbia, but looked really clean and better than I had expected after we ha...
