Hi,
So I have arrived safely at my new home. It's pretty amazing here. Quite hot and humid, but in a nice way. My 'wing' is also incredible. I have a double bed, TV, air conditioning, bathroom - and its all mine! Only I have a key! It's a bit weird though, just being left alone in my own little house. But I guess I'll get used to it. And it's got lots of space to practise too so hopefully I'll be able to bring a cello back home and become professional! The flight was fine, though I am quite tired now - it's impossible to sleep on planes! I'll have a little nap later... Other than that getting through customs/visa checks etc was fine and we were met by a driver holding a piece of paper saying Eleanor and Sam - very exciting! It was about a half hour drive from Entebbe airport through typical Africa. The drivers are crazy but it all seems to work. We dropped Sam off with Simon Yiga at the school so I've had a brief look at it. Maybe I'll go back later and have a bit more of an investigation. I'm waiting for a phone call from Julie who also teaches at the school telling me what time I start tomorrow. The mum very kindly sorted me out with a Sim card. My Uganda number is: +256781580013. Only the mum and cousin are here at the moment. Everyone else is at school. I think they get back in about 3 hours time so it will be nice to meet them all. I'll just settle in, have a shower and maybe a swim in the pool in the meantime!
Please, everyone, keep in touch - tell me everything, even the seriously boring stuff!
Missing everyone lots.
Bye for now.
