I have arrived at last. It has been pouring with rain all day. If it weren't so humid, I would think this was England. The house which will be my home for the next month, is about as I expected. It is very basic. I am sharing a room with Dale, a Canadian girl who I met in the Hotel in Bangkok. We are already "mates". We arrived mid morning, and after unpacking my 3 skirts and 3 blouses, the 6 volunteers met in the living area to introduce ourselves to each other and to meet the staff. Lunch followed(rice noodles with fresh veggies and salad and fresh fruit).We were then given a task. We split into two groups, dropped off in town, and had to find items to buy, and the price of trips to holiday resorts. Once finished, we were to catch a Tuk Tuk back to the accommodation centre. It was fun, and the people of Trang were fascinated by white skinned humans, but they were all very friendly and helpful. When they don't understand, they just smile. Dinner is at 6pm each evening. Tonight it was a chicken stir fry with brown rice. It was beautiful and tasty. It has been a long day, and there are 6 very tired volunteers ready for a good sleep. But tomorrow we will all be ready for Day 3. They tell us the rain will cease. I hope they are right, because tomorrow is beach day......
Lovely to hear from you Heather with happy news re Nick and Nikki.

I don't know if I can comment from our own blog-site but here goes.
Good to hear that you have arrived in Trang and that it really exists. Also hissing with rain here in Victoria. It must be a very big cloud. H&L heading to Perth on Tuesday then back through Adelaide for Christmas.
