Hi everyone!
Here I am again. Sorry I haven't write since last Wednesday. I'm in Barcelona right now but I'll try to explain how my lasts days in Kenya were.
On Thirsday morning I woke up early because I went with Mary to the hospital. She wanted me to take pictures there because she got a big parcel form US full of clothes for the new borns. We got there and we went to the matirnity ward with the clothes... We saw beds with two mothers and thier babies... they had to share then bed. And loads of women waiting outside with theirs babies waiting for the check-up...
I went home around 12pm to finish packing and around 1pm we head off to town but it started raining soooo bad... we had to take a taxi to the matatu stage but we were: Lucy, Samuel, Mary, Elizabeth, Liz and I... so 7 on the car with the driver... I went with Lucy to get the tea and she bought loads for me... I told her again I didn't want them to spend that money on me but she just looked at me and said "please"...
So I said goodbye to Mary and Elizabeth and I cried... We got to Nakuru and from there I took another Matatu to Nairobi.
On Friday we wnet to pick up a new volunteer. She's called Vicki and she's from Canada. She stayed for days in an orpahange in Nairobi and we went there to pick her up and to visit the orphanage.
On Saturday morning we woke up early because we had to head off to the airport... :( But something happened... I checked the paper I printed before going to Kenya with the flights times and I was in shock when I saw that the flihgt out was... on the 30th of April???? Ok, I started panicking and Samuel told me to go to the airport anyway. All the way to the airport I was thinking "I'm sure I checked it out before and I saw the 1st...". So when we got to the airport I went to ask to that women at the Virgin Atlantic Desk and when she saw my face she said "please, don't break down!"... We checked and my gflight was for the 1st of May as I supposed... She told me that they changed the day and they sent me an email. Apparently I checked my email, I saw that the flight was on the 1st of May and I forgot to print the new ticket so I had the old one which said that my flight was on the 30th of April...
When I calmed down I had to say goodbye to Samuel and Lucy and that was not easy... Samuel hug me and just walked away... I started crying and Lucy told me that for them I was not a volunteer, I was more than that and they will miss me a lot... Ok... I started crying more then... Then I walked in knowing that my time in Kenya was over :(
The flight from Nairobi to Heathrow was good, I had four seats just for me so I spent most of the way lying down and watching movies and reading "The River Between". In Heathrow I had to wait for two hours so it was't that bad but I felt weird seeing all those mzungus... and I felt weirder on the plane to Barcelona listening to all those mzungus talking in spanish...
My mother, my brother and my sister-in-law were waiting for me in Barcelona... The first thing I told them was "you are so white!".
Now, I'm in Barcelona. I still have no internet at home but I'll try to get once I'm back from Bilbao next week and I promise I'll upload those pictures I told you I was going to upload.
Next post... I'll explain how I'm settleing down here.
Thank you everyone for following my posts and for leaving comments or sending me emails. I think I'll keep writing this blog but just about things related to Chazon as Olivier suggested me :)
Well, I gotta go now, thank you everyone again and we'll keep in touch!
