Dondo

I am in Dondo! I drove down with my housie, Jessie... It was fun. 2 girls chillin watching the scenery pass by :-)

We were meant to leave early sunday morning, but Saturday I woke up feeling really really really bad! I think it was food poisoning, so I was in bed for the whole day, sunday I wasnt feeling that great, and so monday I just rested. So we ended up leaving for the 2 day trip early tuesday morning instead.

We stayed in Mocuba overnight, so we did 11 hours yesterday and then 9 hours today... I'm getting tired of driving... Mozambique is so looooong and streched out, and I think the roads are worse in the north than in the south - esp the bit just before Dondo, there is literally nowhere that you can drive without hitting a hole, so in the end I gave up trying and just drove straight, its SO bad for the car!

But anyways - Dondo is great - they have hot running water!!! And a Shoprite (grocery store). So we went shopping and got ingredients for a salad. yummy! There is a bad cholera outbreak in Pemba right now, so we had to be really careful about fresh fruit and veggies, so the salad I had for dinner tonight was especially nice!

I will write an update on the flood relief soon - we are going out tomorrow to go shopping for blankets, candles and other things that are not available in the villages - I'm not sure when we plan to head out, probably in the next few days! But I'll keep you posted.
