We arrived here on thursday evening and it has taken us 2 days to sort out a broadband connection.
Our first impressions of the city are that it is mainly composed of wooden fronted buildings only 2 or 3 stories high, most needing a lick of paint. The last picture is of Albert street on sunday morning. This is the main street in the commercial centre.
I have also enclosed a picture of the Womens Department building, where I am going to work tomorrow.
People seem very friendlyand we have had no trouble.
We are staying in a cottage at the back of an expensive property about 10 minutes walk from town centre. The landlady lives in the rest of the property and is very friendly. We had lunch with her and her family today. I attach pictures or our cottage, theproperty as a whole and our view of the sea.
It is 90 degrees, but fortunately we have aircon in the cottage.
It is therefore tiring to do very much in the heat of the day, and Liz has been attacked by mosquitoes. I've been taking piritin and enjoying a gin and mango juice in the evening, hence the next pararaph from Bernard
We have been sleeping very well and are looking forward to work tomorrow.
Which is your little cottage? Is it the little wooden hut? If so it looks very sweet!
