It was wet and dark at 7.00am on Saturday morning as we began to assemble at Truro Bus Station with coffee in hand. However everyone was excited and slightly nervous at the thought of what lay ahead in the next two weeks. Bishop Tim prayed for us and then it was time to get on the coach. There were a few tears from parents and then we were on our way.31 hours later after five and three quarter hours on a coach, four and a half hours at Heathrow, ten and a half hours in the air, two and a half hours at Johannesburg Airport another hour in the air to Durban and then two and a quarter hours in which we met our guide, transferred our luggage and picked up our minibus before the final drive of five hours, we arrived in Cedarville!!
We are staying with the two nurses who run the project here, Val is hosting Hannah, Lydia, Kate, Tom, Mike, David and Claire whilst Cathy is hosting Megan, Holly, Emily, Yasmin, Rose and Sarah.
It was Kate's 18th birthday, so we sang her Happy Birthday on the plane and gave her a small present, we also got the Pilot to mention it over the tannoy! (She was slightly embarrassed). We all ate together at Val's house where we again celebrated Kate's Birthday and watched her struggle to blow out everlasting candles on her cake.
Then we turned in to our beds and all slept very well!
