Here is our kitchen: I like that the table is in the middle so we can dance around, just kidding. Because the lighting condition isn’t very good in there, it is good to cut things facing the light, so I cut the food instead my fingers.
From the kitchen we go into the sitting area and dinning room combined, this is where we have our French lessons and also have people over to play cards.
3 bedrooms
We don’t use this bedroom at all.
This bedroom is the only room which is connected to the solar power, here we charge our laptop but besides that, we don’t use it either. For us it seems a bit odd, that a bedroom would be connected to the solar power and not the living room. But Andy said, in order to connect it to the living room it would need a whole lot of work and rewiring to do.
Big bathroom, sorry forgot to take a picture, but you have already seen the hot shower…
When we arrived in Conakry we stayed in a house. The one bedroom which we were given is very, very dark. The only window it has is in front of a wall, it did not let much light through. Even though it is very nice and sunny outside, it is still dark in the room.
When we go back from Macenta to Conakry (which will be around end of August) we will be moving in the front of the same house which is mentioned above, there the bedroom will be hopefully lighter. In the other room we had two single beds which were pushed together. In the new room we will have like a ….. bed, were we still have to look for a mattress to sleep on. Also in the new room we will have an en-suite bathroom. The conditions will be the same as we had in the other room with electricity and bucket shower.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask, maybe I can use some topics to write on my blog about.
Hope you are all doing well. Please stay in touch and let us know what’s going on in your life.
Hi Folks, Thanks for the Email. Glad you are still progressing well and keeping cheerful. I like the photos How much do you get when you sell all the shoes? (I would choose the green flip-flops). If I can help with the mattress for when you return to Conakry let me know....when I was a lad we stuffed hessian sacks with straw and said how comfortable they were - no-one would admit that it takes ages to get to sleep when you have straw sticking in your backside!! Oh and we didn't have showers we dipped in the river - there is nothing quite so bracing as water straight from the glacier brrrr.
