17.2.14 Monday. Change of Plan

The original plan for today was to relax after the weekend

But tomorrow is Independence day and the schools are closed so we arranged to take Kathy and Ian to Nemasu this morning instead of tomorrow.   Fiona went to Nemasu in her taxi and then we went to Palma Rima with Sheila to collect Kathy and Ian.  Kathy had contacted us from England and wanted to bring some things out for the schools and so she had packages to deliver to Nemasu.  We visited the nursery, a PE lesson was taking place when we arrived and also Jolly Phonics.  We then went to see the well in the village which has broken already! Probably from overuse, the villagers are using this well instead of any other for all water requirements.  It has been decided by the Alkelo of the village that it should be locked for part of the day to allow the water level to recover.  I rang the repair man to visit and fix it.  We walked back through the village to the school and collected Fiona, we all squeezed into the truck and returned Kathy and Ian to Palma Rima and then went onto Kololi for lunch at the Lebanese restaurant, followed by an ice cream at the parlour opposite.  We called at the Craft Market to look for souvenirs and then headed out onto the road and back home.
