We have been here now for 7 weeks, time is going really fast and we have all settled in well. The kids are loving playing on the compound, especially in the small swimming pool. We are getting used to the hot weather, although apparently in April, the hottest month of the year, we are told it is like living in fire!
Andrew has brought his own motorbike for getting to and from work. The soft sand on some of the roads make his trips interesting but then he does like a challenge. He has been in the office most days but has been able to accompany Bryan, a relief pilot here, on a couple of trips, including one to Cameroon, so he was able to claim a new country! He is looking forward to beginning his flight training in just under 2 weeks time.
I have conquered driving on my own! I cant say I like it but I have to do it. Especially as Zack has started at a kindergarten in town so I need to drive him there and pick him up. He is enjoying it and even is picking up the African accent sometimes!
We have brought a washing machine although not able to use it yet as here we need to run electical equipment through a voltage box and although we have a voltage box we need to attach a plug! Nothing is straight forward here! We also seem to find that fridges here are not the most reliable and are currently had 4 different ones.
The mosquitoes continue to bite but I have found a very good mosquito squatter in the last few days - a wet flannel!
Now as I write this, the children on the compound, 10 of them, are off to play together under a water sprinkler in one of the gardens........
