Pats day 5
Sat 22nd October - 5.54pm by Patrick Cosgrave
For a little while today we went to the school and tried to make a start on a performance.For the kids, we didn't get very far. After that we walked out to the slums of Bombalulu, I imagine that during the 10 days of rain, before our visit, the houses there would have flooded as they aLl have mud foundations or none at all. But in the dry heat things weren't too bad there, horrible but not sludgy, I triped a little, so did most people on the loose gravel.
We walked into and then toured the Bombalulu workshop a place designed to offer disabled people in and around Mombasa jobs. There they make jewellery and novelty gifts as well as clothes and those hand driven tricycles I've seen people using. I was greaTly impressed but a little bored after the first quarter of an hour. I considered passing out to spice things up a little. That makes me a bad person doesn't it?
When we left the work shop we journeyed to a crocodile farm, the guide said that they had more than 20,000 crocs there. I was more worried with the MASSIVE SPIDERS!
The water here tastes funny.
