After a sleepless night we were up early and met up with our mentor Angela, an Australian VSO Volunteer. We were taken to Serrekunda Market to set up home with the VSO allowance of £80. Very tiring, as to get the most from your money you have to shop around so flitted from shop/stall to stall, managed to get a good price for curtain and throw material after plenty of bartering. Loaded up we headed for home with plates, pans, buckets etc. in hand.
That evening all new volunteers, Jenny, Abigail and Bradley included were invited for dinner at Max’s house. The Pilipino volunteers had each cooked so we tried some new dishes, consisting of squid in a coconut chilli sauce, chicken noodle stir fry, mung beans, marinade chicken drumsticks, prawns and papaya and rice, all concocted on a two ring gas burner very impressive and tasty. At 7.30pm Jenny, myself and the children headed for home leaving Paul to impress with his singing skills on the karaoke machine.
