Goodbye
to Gambia day :'(
Got
up at eight-ish, with achy legs from dancing the night before! I spent some time out on the balcony on my own, just thinking over the trip and enjoying being in Gambia. Also took some pictures of monkeys!
View From Our Balcony Again
Going To Miss These
Eleanor and I got ready, finished packing etc., then joined Eloise
and Nicole for breakfast. Again, felt minimalistic after Farafenni!
After
breakfast, Eleanor and I went to the ping pong area with Will, Ben,
Mr M and Mr B. Eleanor and I played 2 versus 1 against Mr B, which we
won- somehow!!
At
10, we got any leftover donation stuff and said goodbye to Lamin and
Morro. Got pictures with both and Lamin had everyone's emails and
Facebooks.
Lamin!
Morro!
It
was so sad saying goodbye; going to miss them both a lot!
Back
up to room and got suitcases. Everyone assembled in a room near the
reception and waited for the coach. Coach journey and airport arrival
uneventful, though it took ages to check in. Plane delayed by 45
minutes,
Had
lunch- I had a chicken baguette. Realised I've had chicken at least
once every day, if not more: yum yum!
Spent
a while waiting for the plane, but it passed quicker than I expected.
On the way back I was sat by the aisle with Will then Ben. Poor Anju
was sat by the window with Mr M and Mr B next to her- I think she
found the journey very long!
Sunset Over Morocco
Spent
most of the time writing/reading. Wrote up a piece for the school
newsletter.
Got
back to England! Very very cold, and everyone a little over-tired so
either quiet or hyper. Got into mini-bus and drove back. Got to the
school around 2am.
Trip
officially over: but what a trip.
Goodbye Gambia :(
