The day finally arrived...

I have finally moved to Kerewan! When I imagined the journey I had a nice image of the 3 of us in an air conditioned VSO car rolling into Kerewan, full of excitement. However after a conversation with Ebrima in the VSO office my image began to disappear...
"How would you feel if we asked you to drive your motorbike to Kerewan?" he asked. I responded by asking him if this was his way of telling me that I would be riding my motorbike to Kerewan. He said yes.
 
Luckily we had a volunteer called Andrew going with us who knew the way which is always helpful! We followed him to Banjul ferry port, preparing ourselves for the chaos of the ferry. The Journey was surprisingly smooth and I even led the way from Barra! When we got to the Kerewan sign we all slowed down and beeped the horns - I couldn't believe that after 6 weeks we were finally home!
