4.3.14 Tuesday. Belle Vue last Day



Steve, Ann and I went down to Nemasu this morning as Bev had left her glasses behind yesterday.  Momodou has his graduation ceremony next week, it has been postponed several times, but we are told it will happen on the 14th March.  Unfortunately we will not be able to attend, but we arranged for him to hire a gown for the day.  We then went shopping before calling at yashmina for a snack and returning home for the afternoon.  The Belle Vue Party return home tomorrow and we went to meet them at Cabana’s this evening to watch their last sunset and enjoy the food and cocktails in the bar.  The restaurant had arranged a large table for us all and the teachers, Ann and I had cocktails whilst the girls were on the beach watching the sunset.  Everyone has enjoyed their holiday and there was a lot of chatter and reminiscing amongst the group whilst we ate the delicious tapas and then our main course.  Many photographs were taken and then Tess had awards to give out to the girls.  These were in the form of a postcard with a slogan, such as ‘Gambia’s best swimmer’,  ‘Gambia’s best film maker’ etc, and then a wrap for each girl.  They had also bought Steve and I a present each, I got a lovely leather handbag and Steve an African shirt for being ‘Gambia’s best trip organisers’  A lovely evening and a fitting end to a memorable week for the girls.   We returned home tired and happy.
