Back in Port Sudan by the Red Sea

Now we are back in our base city Port Sudan. Our work will resume tomorow and we are both exited to find out how much we have lost out on during our little med.evac to khartoum. The work is drawing closer to end also, we now have approx 11 weeks left to change the world. hehe. No. But to share ourselves with all the volunteers as much as possible and create activities with them which can endure beyond the point of our departure back to Norway.

Life in Port Sudan has just gotten increasingly sticky again. Which means the heat is coming back up faster. In the summer around juli-august this place reaches above 50 degrees celcius. HOT! On google earth if you look at the pictures from/on downtown Khartoum you can see a picture of the tarmaq (asfalt) melting. And the people in Khartoum has respect for people living in Port Sudan because it is even more extremly hot. So there is some perspective for you. To me right now this means two things: 1. Hot water in the shower (which is not the case during the winter months, allthough cold here means 15-20 degrees celcius :P ) 2. Sticky existence espesially at night when the fan goes off because of powerfailure (approx every night). So when you wake up because you lie in a insaneasylum jacket of a twirled sticky bedsheet and can not move you feel rested and in no need for coffee in the morning. 

Up here I think I sound tired and demotivated, but despite all this and lots of other challenges I really enjoy this challenge and self development/learning experience. It is highly reconmended.

All the best
