Well I'm in grey, rainy London, England. It is about 10:30pm and I've been up for who knows how many hours now. It's been raining heavily and steadily all day. Seeing as I packed for hot Gambian weather, I had no rain stuff (jacket, umbrella etc). All was a little bit damp but I managed to try it out with my room heaters cranked on high.
Tomorrow we leave to catch our plane to The Gambia. Hopefully I will be able to write more when I'm there. If not, I'm sure I will have plenty of stories to tell once I'm back.
