Guyana: beginning of the journey’s end

We had the most ridiculous journey by minibus to Guyana’s capital, Georgetown..at times we did not know whether to laugh or cry as the road was so bad!  I was very grateful that I did not need to drive and the whole experience reminded me of parts of Africa.  Georgetown has a real Caribbean feel mixed with some British history..and its been really nice to speak English again!  I have even found proper tea served - lovely!
 
Our time in Georgetown was spent mainly as a team saying some farewells as about half of the team felt that it was right for them to return home.  So there were many tears shed and lots of lovely things said about each other.  I also got to hang out with the younger girls on an individual basis to help in the processing of the adventure!   Whilst we have been staying in the city we have also prayed for people on the streets and saw one lady’s sight partially restored.  Wow!
Tomorrow I will be doing my fourth airport run in as many days saying goodbye to team members and then I get to travel to Suriname and French Guyana as they are our last two countries to visit! 
And I’m excited to say that my flight is booked home so I will be returning to the UK and sunny Salford on Tuesday 20th November!  So I hope to see many of you in the next few weeks.  Thanks for reading and God bless you lots.
