Christmas sweat

Christmas started with a modest tree and decorations, but moved up a gear with coconuts and pineapples in baskets brought by Santa.

With perfect timing we discharged our last patient on Christmas eve, so in the afternoon our team of 14 drove down to ‘River number 2’ beach for a couple of nights in some beach huts. The early morning photo shows the site of our camp fire. That day we went in search of crocodiles, birds and waterfalls. The crocs didn’t show, so the girls felt it safe to swim instead!

The following morning Helen & I explored a nature train in the jungle, where there were monkeys and giant hornbills. We had good fun swinging from lianas like the monkeys! This week we als hope to visit a chimpanzee reserve.
We are back in the UK for three weeks from 4th Jan.
