Good times from our last visit - with photos! Accommodation.

As we look forward to visiting old friends and seeing what progress is being made in healthcare, probably in February 2011, it is good to look back at some of the good times from the last visit.

We were fortunate in our accommodation. Because the official Foreign and Commonwealth Office advice is not to use the ferry at night, we spent our first night at the Harmony Hotel near the ferry terminal at Tagrin. Well worth it. Good welcome and a very fine meal - fish was fantastic!  Comfortable rooms and air-conditioning so efficient that in my room we woke in the night absolutely freezing! They were also good at getting us an early breakdast for the morning ferry.
Highly recommended. http://www.harmonyhotelsl.com/

Morning breakfast - not even light yet!

Getting together in the lounge for morning prayers, afternoon tea or de-briefing in the evening were highlights of the day for all of us. Here are the full team apart from Anne-Marie who took the photo. Ruth is showing only an arm!

The start of every day. Breakfast in Hotel 5/10.
