New Year!!

Happy New Years everyone!!

I can not believe it's january 2008 already, and it's 6 months since I left Norway!

My last week travelling with my dad was great. After St.Lucia we went to the Drakensberg, where we meet Polljera. Kor liten er verden egentlig? Vi viste at Mette Sandal og familien var i South Africa, men at vi skulle treffe paa dei der hadde vi ikkje rekna med. Pappa sa til og med da vi kjorte dit at viss han traff noken Poljera skulle han spsie solbrillene sine:) Vi sat ved hotellet og las da dei plutselig dukka opp. Liten verden altsaa!:)
Anyways, Drakensberg was a lovely place, amazing views, but we didn't really do any hicking!
After that we went to Mt. Frere and visited my family there. I had brought xmas presens and I've never seen anyone beeing so happy for a gift before!:)
We also visited one of Marks (old:( ) hostfamily. The dad in the house is a big Liverpool supporter so I'm usually there every weekend watching english football! Me and my dad went so watch the Liverpool game. Was fun to see them together discussing football:)
New years we spent in Durban, and on the 3rd my dad went back home, and I went to a nice backpackers and started writting my exam paper which was due the next day.. I handed it in ten min before the deadline. Can't say it's the best assignment I have writtened, but I think I will pass..:)
Then it was of to Joburgh for midservice with SCORE. It was great seeing the others again, and getting my mind back in to work!

Last week I came back to Mt. Frere. It was nice seeing everyone again. Ingeborg (another volunteer working in Zimbabwe) and 2 friends also came and visited for 2 days, which was great! 4 white, european girls in Mt. Frere attracs alot attention though!!:)
But after they left I didn't have much to do. So after finishing of the 3rd season of House, I decided to go to Durban for the weekend. Arrived here yesterday and are staying till monday morning. Then it's back to Mt. Frere and finally starting to work!
This week has been a bit hard with nothing to do and a bit of an anticlimax(can you say that in english?) with a long holiday, nothing to do and no Mark in Mt. Frere!! But I am really excited to get started with work so I'm looking forward to going back on monday!

Will try and post some pic soon! Are going back to Durban in two weeks beacuse my mum is comming to visit for two weeks! Really looking forward to that to:)

Take care everyone, and keep me updated on whats going on at home!
