Back to normal

It’s funny how easy it is to get used to a new life. Coming back to Pemba made me feel like coming home. I guess it’s the “where I lay my hat is my home” syndrome. It has always been like that for me and right now my hat lies in a small house in Nanhimbe, Mozambique. And I must say I’m very happy about that – it would have been awful if I had wanted to stay in Sweden with another 4 months committed to my new job on the sailing boat in the Quirimbas Archipelago outside northern Mozambique!

These first days I have been hanging out with C, Frank and Jutta of course, been to the camp a couple of times already and planned the grocery shopping for the boat with Arthur (the owner of the boat). I’ve been so busy it wasn’t until yesterday I had time to start unpack my suitcases… And doing that, I realized I have to pack again only 2 weeks from now; on the 24th Pieter and I will go to Ibo and start familiarize ourselves with the boat. (Pieter being the skipper). Exciting!

We’ve also had a power cut since I came and it’s impossible to send sms – so nothing new there :) I’m very happy Internet is working though. And I installed my new thermometer. It was 24 ̊̊C when I woke up this morning and then it went up to 29 ̊C as the hottest today. Very nice indeed.
