Not in Sudan

Its been a little while since I wrote so I though I should update you about what I've been up to in the last 3 weeks while not in sudan ...
I earn R and R days due to working on saturdays in the field so I had 8 of those to take (plus weekends) and was flown out to Nairobi. I had a really great break .. the team house is really lovely and I got on really well with the other people there, we hung out, watched DVDs, went out for lunch and generally relaxed ... the weather was cold which made a pleasant change and I bought a new jumper at a fab 2nd hand market. We had some good trips out at the weekend to national parks when we could borrow cars and I got to see some exciting animals including giraffes (... lots of them), crocodiles, buffalo and zebra.
I then spent a week doing office work in Nairobi which was a little dull but useful as I had lots of planning to do ... now I'm in Loki and hoping to fly back to Sudan on Saturday. There are not many distractions here but there are lots of people around and we've discovered aerobics which is quite fun ... although I'm aching a little today. Please do add some comments or email me or I don't know that you are reading my blog ....
lots of love Alice x
