6am get up doesn't really mix well with Radlians but we made our way to the 3rd biggest cathedral in Africa which happened to be in our garden.
However the church service in Swahili ended up taking up over 2 hours but a lovely experience nonetheless. The priests welcomed us warmly. Then we made our way to meet our pen pals. Everyone was in high spirits. Our pen pals increased with confidence after our walk up another mountain. Slightly embarrassing as we were all beaten up there by 3 young locals who were greeted with food and games.
We played a few icebreakers and everyone had a smile on there face. After us teaching them a little bit about our culture they taught us a bit about theirs by giving us some sugar cane to eat. Some of us struggled with the obscure challenge. One must strip the outside of the cane with only your teeth. We had a lovely supper and then returned to plan our lessons for the forcoming days. We look forward to the week ahead.
