Hey all

Well have arrived in sunny Guyana, where it is unbearably hot at the moment. It's in the hottest part of the day right now, at 1pm and you are unable to sit out in the sun. The flight over here was ridiculously long and rather boring although I did manage to get a few hours sleep which I am feeling much better for now. Anyway, I am going to be spending the next few days in and around Georgetown, just sorting out my work permit with the ministry and just getting used to the heat difference before moving down to St Cuthbert's by the end of next week to begin teaching the following monday! It's nice to be here although it is still a little surreal that I am actually here, but I'm sure that it will sink in over the next few days.

Since I have been here have already seen lots of weird and wonderful things including a guy at the airport with a boombox playing reggae! Also seen a few lizards and birds and a crocodile as well. No snakes or anything like that just yet!

The humidity is really difficult to adapt to at the moment, I had a shower a bit earlier today and after I had dried myself, I didn't even have time to get fully dressed again before I was covered with sweat, but it will have to be one of the things to get used to. It is a daunting prospect having to spend a year out here although I'm sure that I will adapt very quickly to the heat and will come back next year shivering!

Anyway, need to go, have got to let other people use the computer.

Much Love xxxx
