School

We have visited the school this morning that Admiral Lord Nelson have links with and handed over the laptops and equipment. It was gratefully received and we were given a tour round meeting students and teachers.

Adrian handed over the Irish flag and the hurling equipment they had and was demonstrating how to use it. We didn't get chance to take any pics of the students in the football kit kindly donated by Portsmouth Football Club but this will be rectified when ALNS come down in February.

This means I am now without a computer to use and have to work off the machines the hotel has. I will keep my fingers crossed that I don't stop them working ;) I have notes on the missing days and will add them when I am back in the UK.

Highlights include.......

Meeting Miss Gambia, Driving through the presidents gate, flying the Irish flag from the spot lights at the national stadium and traveling on the roof of the car.

Some of our convoy have already left for home or for further travels. Stephan is off to Cape Verdi, Ahkim is off exploring Gambia before sailing across to Brazil. Simon has moved his flight to today and Paul was last seen working on a knackered Renault 5. The Barnicle Busters were looking at their radiator before getting the flight home tonight.

It has been a pleasure to travel with everyone and we are planning on meeting up again soon..... and definitely for Ocktober fest.
