Not quite holiday - Part three

Honestly this will be the final report of the not quite holiday aspect of the trip. At times I wonder if I am too meticulously attached to detail because I don't leave stones unturned. For those of you who enjoy detail you probably have liked the blog, if you are not into detail then you have proabably enjoyed the pictures. Back to the story, it was 9 and we wanted to get back to the main city to do some shopping. We met yet another English teacher who joined us for the walk to the taxi rank, on the way we ran into the headmaster of the school once again. He was happy to see us once again, he is a very friendly man, and doing a fine job in my humble opinion. The guys helped us land a taxi with a decent price and we were off. It sort of felt like we were leaving our home away from home that we had for a couple of days. The taxi ride back was uneventful as we were quite tired and ready to chill before heading back to our homebase. While in the main city we ate some ice cream and did some shopping. The girls and Tony made some purchases, it was great fun walking through the streets and observing people. I was able to land a couple of drums for about 10 pounds total, I was pleased with that price for the drums that I was able to find. The orange juice was wonderful as were the cashews, and then we headed to the next taxi rank to get a taxi to our final destination. They remembered us from hailing one from previous days, and after another hour and a half or so we were back to the homebase. We had decided to stroll back around 4:30 which was the time that we were supposed to be back. We arrived right on time, sunglasses on and shopping bags in hand, all in all an amazing short trip where we saw God at work and had a great time building relationship with each other and our new friends.
