Shelly's Solly Adventures!

Arrived in Sollys after teary farewells... Its hot, humid and dirty. I was picturing palm trees, white sandy beaches and hammoks... It the chaos of the last few weeks I had forgotton I was going to a 'developing' country... Honiara is dirty, busy and everything looks like it was bulit last century. The 'broadband' internet is the slowest I have ever seen. I nearly died trying to cross the road... No traffic lights here, let alone pedestrian crossings! On the positive, the people are lovely, although it is a little intimidating having everybody stare at you wherever you go...
Up at 5am tomorrow to head out to a village for a few days to do some language training. We have a four hour boat ride to get there. I cant remember the last time I went on a boat... will find out if I get sea sick or not! Have run out of time at local internet cafe... so much to say but so little time! Stay tuned for more I guess... Missing you all! XoXO
