Getting wet!!

Sunday 26th June
The sermon in church today was about having a good marriage using the text of Samson and Delilah! Also apparently marriage is like an orange! I’ll leave you to work that one out!

I did say to Ann thus morning that I wasn’t going to the hospital today but a couple of phone calls later and I was needed by some of the medical students!
This afternoon involved much wetness. We set out for the waterfall and after walking for 15 minutes we were stranded in a downpour fortunately sheltering under a tin roof of a nearby shop. The walk to the waterfall proved challenging for the 7 of us (including Rachel and 4 of her friends from UK). We walked through the river for around 20 minutes lead by Rachel with the river  in full flow because of all the recent rain and some strong currents needing to be negotiated. Once at the waterfall we had a very welcome swim in some freezing water. We are still trying to warm up 2 hours later.
With another snake seen today the snake score so far stands at 4! Fortunately only one alive-a green tree snake seen yesterday!
Had to shelter from this downpour!
