Hi girls.... so pleased to hear that you are all there safely (bags and all by the sounds of things!!) and that you have made friends and settled in. Im so sorry that the hostel was so dire - but very glad you have met up with the Skiels and that they have allowed you to use their house for 4 weeks - luxury!
Sounds like you are already getting settled and having fun (which is allowed) whilst also getting to grips with CMC - learn lots and stay safe. Look after each other and i will look forward to reading your posts on this site - good idea by the way!
Keep in touch :-)
