I am looking forward quite a bit now, trying to get the next steps organised. Next weekend we are off to Mabaruma which is in the north of Guyana. One of my close VSO friends got transferred up there, so it will be great to catch up with her again. It is a big wildlife area and good for walking, so I'm hoping to see all that elusive wildlife, even perhaps monkeys. We are going overland by speedboat and minibus, and stopping a night with another VSO on the way. Then we can catch a plane back, which will be my first flight in Guyana. Apparently the forest looks like brocolli from above.I have got a flight sorted out which allows me to stop over in Trinidad for six nights at no extra cost. VSO get flights a lot cheaper as we are classed as missionaries (how many of us we can live up to such a claim?). We are going to get a boat over to Tobago and stay at the quiet, wildlife end of the island for a few nights in a self catering place. The tourist stuff talks of fantastic beaches, snorkelling, forests, waterfalls. We are going to spend the last night at the busy end so we are ready to get the flight back to Trinidad. Then arriving back in the UK on 24 July.I'm also applying for jobs or hours at the College for next year.
