zaterdag 7 november 2009 - Project Lodge, Gunjur Beach
Last day here. My things are half in the teachers house in Gunjur and half in my tent-near-the-sea. What is left is a little heavy bagsac and a shopping bag with my pillow and loose stuff. I had the plan to go early with the GillyGilly to Kartong, where my tent is. It is midday and very hot so I will be crazy to pop down there at this moment. So, jumping in the swimming pool is a far better idea ;-) having a drink and some food. The plan has changed of course. Happy and Tineke1 are going to pick me up in 1 hour.
Tineke1 phoned me that the 90 banana boxes with charity goods from Holland just arrived. They were managing the transport and I had the idea that the family of Gunjur Project maybe could give a hand. They have a Landrovertruck. So everything can be transported I think in one go. Several phone calls later it is arranged for next Monday. Very nice of them because they do it only for the costs. Thank you all !!
The reason why I am writing in English is because I start thinking in English. Crazy but true!
Yesterday evening I went to the mechanic to get my luggage carrier fixed on the bike. The man with the most lovely smile on his face I have ever seen, fixed it for me. Of course in the African way. Bad-looking but very useful. In the meantime the tent pole (???) was fixed by another mechanic. So I hope it is finally ready to use.
Because Tineke1 and Happy had a very tough time with the selling in the shop, they wanted to go out to listen to some live-music. I went with them to Mama Sanchaba near Kartong. We were the only three paying guests. We had to entertain ourselves because the generator broke down. They were waiting for another one to come from Brikama. The Jamaican singer did not seem to have problems with that. He was hanging around with his wife, "meditating"(read: smoking canabis) At half past 12 the problem was still not solved and we decided to go home. They did not want to let us go because we were the public. At least we had forgotten about the things that happened during the day and we went home relaxed. Through the dark night with the moon shining in between the palm trees beside the roads.
Bye Bye friends! In one week I try to write again! x and hug from me, 10
ps als iemand me fotoruimte wil doen toekomen hier: graag! Want photobucket lukt niet! thnx
