We have arrived!

We arrived safe and sound in Kisoro on Tuesday afternoon after a long and exhausting journey! The flights were... cramped (apparently Ethiopian air only cater for people who's legs are about 10" long, so my 34" legs were slightly twisted!) Our taxi man, Jean-Marie picked us up form Kigali airport where we started our 3 hour drive through the Rwandan mountains (A-maze-ing.) Ezra (the main man at potters village) met us at the Ugandan border, and brought us to Kisoro.
Me and Ruth, the other volunteer who i travelled with, are the first to stay in the visitor accommodation that they have just built. We are very lucky to have a small kitchen, a shower, warm water, comfy beds, and some luxuries that you can get here that i was not expecting like digestive biscuits! Our "toilet" on the other hand, will take some getting used to!!
The babies here are adorable. I have only been here 2 days and i have already changed loads of cloth nappies, bathed a kazillion babies, and given lots of hugs to the poorly ones. Baby A is possibly my fav at the moment, she is cheeky and a trouble maker but loving life. She has only just come out 2 week isolation after being very poorly with pneumonia. Baby E is living up at Jenny's house because she was born premature and is still very tiny, but she is gaining weight fast and doing really well which is amazing. Hopefully she will be down at P.V soon. Although the toddlers have had an amazing adventure playground built for them, they don't seem too interested with it at them moment. The carers never had toys and playgrounds when they were growing up so they find it hard to encourage the little ones to play. I am hoping to find ways to get the carers engaging with the games too...!
Right.... I have lost my train of thought... The office is right next to the isolation room and Baby J was screaming so i have to change her nappy, and put her back to bed because none of the night staff could hear her (which must be kinda hard because she can scream, that's for sure)
Today, we went into town. We went for lunch at a little cafe run by a German lady and ate beef stew and chips?! I thought i was going to be eating cabbage for the next 6 months! Eve, Jenny's house girl, then showed me and Ruth round town, and then took us to the market. In the market, all the ladies would lift up their children so they could see the Muzungo's (White people) and all you could here was "how are you Muzungo! Muzungo Muzungo!" They also think is cool to price things 10 times as much as they should be just because we are white! thank goodness for Eve.... The weather is great, hot but not too hot, and then in the afternoon we get a huge thunderstorm which cools everything down for the evenings. 
Come on Baby J, please go back to sleep!
Elections are tomorrow... pray for peace! Jenny says Kisoro is a safe place, so even if there is trouble in Entebbe, she says she doesn't think it will reach here. Hopefully not another Eygpt situation!
Back at home this evening, Ruth and I cooked a healthy meal of marmite on toast.
I Love Africa!
Ciao

ps. Will post photos when i remember to bring my camera to the office!
