Paris - The final stage of the Tour.

Ok so step 3 of recharging the batteries after a long outreach in Guinea, included meeting up with some awesome friends from back home.

And what did this entail? Hitching a ride in their camper van and following the Tour de France.

Now I've learnt a lot of lessons since being in Africa and many of these proved beneficial during Tour...
Some of these included:
1). Shelter comes in many forms - including the floor of your friends camper van.
2). Finding water is essential.
Waterfall at Alpe d'Heuz
3). Hunting for some is a way of life.
Alpe d'Heuz - a classic catch by Richo during the 40 min advertising parade
that gives out lots of free stuff.
4). Team work can help you accomplish great things.

5). In the rainy season do whatever you can to stay dry.
Garbage bag rain coats.
6). One step of survival is to do an inventory check.

7). Keeping fit and active is way of life (pay special attention to Richo here).
Stuttgart - when dropping off the camper van we stumbled across a "Healthy Living" kids festival... so we naturally joined in.
8). When entering new cultures, participation is essential...
Ok, so I was away from the ship for about 5 weeks and now after Spain, Israel and France I can definitely say that my batteries are well charged to tackle yet another outreach.
Congo here we come :)
