Day Five

You'll never guess what ... we still have no power and my cold is finally clearing. We had an early start for today, up at 6.45 getting ready to go to Willow Park which is a school camp site run by YFC. It has 5 lodges which sleeps up to 10 children in bunk beds and also has an assault course, rope course and sports fields. Willow Park is in a state of repair and maintenance, but with a new team being formed it will be ready for camps in the next few months. Willow Park also lodges orphaned children and abused women who need a little bit of respite. It is a beautiful place up in the hills where the buildings all have thatched roofs and are set in the tranquil surrounds of fresh green grass and relaxing water holes. We had an interesting time getting there, this time the 2 seater ute had to accommodate 6 people as well as a large white fridge. This fridge had to be supported by three very manly men in the back who had to also battle the harsh up hill terrain combined with the arctic cold winds and the monsoon rains � well maybe this is a slight exaggeration ... there were three manly men but it was mainly flat road bar the last 200 meter and the winds were mainly produced by the driving and the rain was more like a very light sprinkle. Well that pretty much concluded our day ... ohh one last thing, blessings today for us ... the sun shone through the clouds and we were kind of warm for about 5 minutes today. May the blog be with you ... Until next time ...
