The night we had all been waiting for (& dreading!) We drove into the middle of nowhere it was literally a dirt track, with cows everywhere and nothing but farm land and a few wooden shacks. When we arrived at the village of Chambok we were all relieved to see our homes for the night - Very basic but friendly family's and the food they put on for us was great. Sleeping arrangements were something Graham's dreams are made of ... sharing with five other girls, think he was disappointed that we had a seperate area!! The toilet was interesting having to negotiate your way past the biggest fattest pig we've ever seen and then to disturb the guard dog and all meters from a heard of cows, but Katie managed to only let out a few screams on the way! As there was no electricity it was dark early and we all sat by candle light with the host family learning card games and hearing about their lives, quite a sureal evening. We'd all coped well with the toilets, darkness and farm until Graham managed to cover his foot with cow pat (thank god for the wet wipes!) and then nearly knocked himself out on a wooden beam 2 minutes later - bless and all beacause he was saving us girls from the bugs, what a hero! All in all a great experience and maybe something we'll only do once!
