Sharing The ChAdventure

Rush hour

Its only been four weeks, but how quickly the intense heat and the all consuming dust fade into vague memories... surely it can't have been that bad!?! The people I've met, the many many experiences I've had and the love I now have for Chad and its people will however continue and will probably never truly leave me. The final week was a busy whirlwind of activity, packing up my house and bags, tying up loose ends, but in the busyness I was able to say goodbye to friends and even manage to enjoy for the last time the unique experience of the Chadian rush hour...

A post ward round celebration with the nurses
on my last day of work

A good bye party with the hospital staff, complete with cake
(I couldn't say it was a 100% sweat free cake, but near enough...)

Packing, while feeling the heat.....

This will be my last post and far from having anything particularly ground breaking or inspirational to write, I just want to say two simple words; Thank you.

Thank you for the interest, support and encouragement you have shown me over the past 5 years, in other words, thank you for sharing in my ChAdventure! (Sorry, but I'm chuffed with that word!)

 Its been a strange mix of emotions coming home; excitement, apprehension, guilt and joy. But now its time for the next adventure, wherever and whatever that may be.....
