General Update

Its Friday night and I have now finished working two weeks and am very much looking forward to the weekend. This week the current volunteer coordinator has been away and I have been working as team leader in one of the schools and also working as volunteer coordinator. What with the constant heat working full-on days has been a bit of a shock to the system! Ready for a day at the laguna tomorrow relaxing and swimming

There are currently a great group of volunteers here and with Granada being quite small its doesn't take too long to get to know many other faces around town too.


Bit by bit I am getting more sorted. Have bought a bike to get around town although I question the sensibility of this action as I am still having problems acustomising myself to looking left whilst crossing roads and have had a couple of near misses with mad taxi drivers and horse drawn carts. I also have a mobile (number above) so please call or text away but remeber there is a 6 hour time difference from England. I am also on Skype (www.skype.co.uk) so those who have yet to get please get busy.

Finding a house to rent is proving somewhat challenging. With the significant influx of expats now living here full time property prices are zooming up and up so its taking somewhat longer than expected to find an affordable place. The upside of the searching is that I am getting to know all the parts of town
I would never have seen and getting to talk to a wide variety of Granadinos as the only way of finding somewhere is to stop and ask random people in the strret. In the meantime the current house is serving me well, pictures attached.

Hope all's well where ever you are.

Cheers from Nica.
