We've arrived!

We've arrived safely at IMATT!  After a 4:30 start we all sleepily boarded the minibus ready for our journey to Gatwick, most of which Mrs Meally and I slept through!    Once at Gatwick we had limited time to do a little bit of shopping, my favourite hobby, before boarding a spacious Gambia Bird aeroplane!  The inflight entertainment was interesting and so once again Mrs Meally and I slept through most of the journey!

Having arrived in Sierra Leone the first thing that hit us was the incredible heat and such friendly people!  The next stage of our journey was the dreaded boat trip across the river (Mrs Meally needs a 

lesson on rivers as this was most definitely an ocean we had to cross!), luckily a speedboat was on hand to take us across!

Arriving safely the other side we boarded another minibus to take us to IMATT.  As we travelled through Freetown we saw lots of people still shopping at markets, eating in restaurants and lots of people walking in the roads (road safety lesson are definitely needed here!)

Having a piece of toast and a cup of tea then off to bed!
