Meeting The New Volunteers

This evening we are meeting the new volunteers at the Senegambia Hotel for drinks and a buffet style meal. I can’t believe six months have passed so quickly since it was ourselves who were the new volunteers. We arrived at the hotel and made our way to the same area we ate in last time, we were the first to arrive or so we thought. Paul quickly found a seat with some other UK guys after checking that they were waiting to watch the six nations rugby match England v Wales. I decided to take a look around the ground of the hotel with Abigail and Bradley. We took one of the paths and headed towards the beach passing one of the hotel pools. I was surprised at how big the hotel is, there are different blocks of rooms set within the grounds, a small children’s play area with slide, bird watching bantabar with guide available. There were little bridges here and there within the grounds as well as lots of trees for birdlife. Eventually we reached the path towards the beach and another beach side pool. We decided to return to the hotel to meet Paul via a different route as we did so we were shouted it was some of the other volunteers sat at tables with the new volunteers. I quickly introduced myself and the children and was told this was where we would be spending the evening. I quickly made my way back to let Paul know where we were he was still trying to find the correct channel for the match with no success. We headed back to the group meeting Amy, Emma, Emily and a few others on route. Paul followed behind giving up with the TV and managed to spot a couple of monkey’s in the trees of the hotel grounds.
