Saturday 26th February
Saturday is the day for a lie in as there isn’t chapel at 8. However this morning we were awoken at 5 (ugh!) buy some people staying who wanted to get to Queen Elizabeth National Park early so no late start for us today!!
Ann spent a considerable time this morning cleaning our room which it was much in need of while I spent a couple of hours at the hospital. After a lunch of chapattis and mandazis we set off with Viv Henderson (a Canadian nurse who we knew 25 years ago at Kapsowar) in search of the waterfall which supplies the hospital with power and electricity. After walking for an hour we arrived at a small unfinished refreshment area without refreshments!! We were able to dangle our feet in the refreshing water but we in fact didn’t venture quite far enough to reach the waterfall itself so that remains an expedition for another time. Fortunately the water was working in our room (which it wasn’t earlier in the day) so we were able to have a very welcome shower and cup of tea in front of a fan! Temperatures are at present are unusually high in the low 30s.
