Touchdown!

So, finally here! I arrived 4 30am Monday morning and as soon as I saw the first sight of land it was absolutely pouring down! 12 of us managed to squeeze into a 9 seated mini bus ( not to mention our luggage). So having my friend mamun on my lap was part of the team bonding. We arrived at a hotel in Abuja at 7am and were greeted by our Nigerian counterparts who are lovely! Abbas is the person I will be living with for the next 6 months and we get on so well. So after no sleep we had our first breakfast. Spicy everything! Alot to eat and HOT! But very nice (apart from the fact I've been on the toilet at least 3 times per day). We have finished our 3 day training today and are now prepared for everything haha. So, we have a day off tomorrow then we start our 12 hour journey down to cross river state at 5am Friday. It hasn't really sunk in yet and we havnt been able to see much of the place so I think I will probably have some culture shock when we get to our host homes. It's all exciting and the locals are so friendly, however, I think it all begins after our journey south as at the moment it feels like a holiday. IM READY!
