Tess: Back to Goma



Back in Goma! After two and a half weeks at the sanctuary i just couldn't handle it and had to leave..... Only kiddin...

Came back for the weekend to see piere the little fish (as Sharon likes to call my French fella for some reason....)

After setting off at 6am for a 1 1/2 hour bumpy moto ride to Bukavu (from which i gained a swollen foot- the roads are pretty darn slippy - it's not even rainy season, and we fell off the moto!) i waited 3 hours at the port for the ferry, then 3 hours on the ferry and eventually made it to Goma.

And proceeded to get extremely drunk after not drinking for 2 1/2 weeks! There were a few surprised faces to see my return, and it was great to see everyone again, and i danced the night away!

But i do miss the guys. I was looking at my photos and i miss them so much! I'm not sure how i will cope when i have to leave them for good in July, being with them for another 5 months will make it even harder.
