Change of plans
So you have to go with the flow when you are on a trip to Africa. Our plane was delayed one hour in Ethiopia and when we finally got on the plan we were exhausted. Thankfully it was not a full flight so I grabbed a middle row and fell asleep. I was woken up to the news that we were not taking off: mechanical problems. So we got off and waited. Most of us tried to sleep and when I finally fell into a deep sleep we were woken up to eat lunch. All together, we left 6 or so hours later. When we finally got in the plane we were so exhausted and I crashed. I had no problem sleeping on this flight.
We touched down in Entebbe and it was the best feeling - almost like being home. Everyone met us at the airport and it was so good seeing them. They too had been waiting for us to arrive since 11am-- it was now about 6pm. We hugged and introduced everyone. So many on our trip are newbies. There's only a handful of us who have been before. Still haven't gotten to know the others but when you're that tired no one wants to chit chat.
We arrived at the Tandum hotel and ate. There are levels of exhaustion and at this point we were at the level of delirium. I fell asleep on the table while waiting for our food. The weather isn't too bad. There's still a coolness in the air but not as much as I would like. I took a melatonin and I have no idea what happened after that. Lol. I'll have to ask Maresha if I said anything crazy. I was out! And slept the whole night very comfortably.
Since our plane was delayed, we will lose one day at the orphanage. :( we will stay at Tandum one more night. Today we will go to the market to souvenir shop and meet up with another group that will arrive today. We will leave for Mbale tomorrow. Internet service is down in our hotel and I'm praying that we can get some service at some point.
Can't wait to be there.
