Well! Here I am in hot and sweaty Honiara! I arrived on Tuesday of this week and thought i'd give it a while before updating the site so that I could get use to the culture shock and the living conditions so that it wasn't just a rambling entry from me feeling sorry for myself and homesick!

Completely intent on sleeping on the plane, we arrive to a delay of 14hrs. Along with the entire population of HK (or so it seemed) we waited patiently to...
