Day 8 - Saturday 8th December



Last night we celebrated a minor milestone – we have been here a week and nobody has managed to fall out with anybody yet. We also had another minor milestone – nearly 3 minutes of rain, the only vaguely inclement weather since leaving Heathrow. Unfortunately we have also had our first case of minor illness, with Becci succumbing to a slight stomach upset.

A half day off today, so following a powerhouse style prayer meeting at the church building, Andrew, Emma and Rochelle have played tourists – lunch at the Foreign Correspondents Club followed by a tour of the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda – ornate buildings (think “The Last Emperor” and strange Buddhist / Hindu temples (think “I will serve no foreign gods ...”). All under a hot sun requiring tea and smoothies in the colonial style Java Café.
