I’m sorry for the late update. But I seem to have too much fun to write.. 
I’ve uploaded some pictures to give you an idea of how we are celebrating Christmas. And as you will see; it is good. I have so much to tell, but I can’t write it all.. This will just be a teaser for now.
Since last time I updated we have finnished our internship. Despite what might be excpected of me to say, I must admit I like the thought of not going back to the hospital. I miss the kids we met, but other than that I was finnished. As I’ve said many times before I don’t want to work at a hospital, and our stay here has just confirmed that. I have learned a lot these past two months and I’m glad I came here. I respect the nurses who work at the burn unit day after day, year after year – I could never do it. It wil be a long time before I can smell chlorine and not think of the bad infections the patients have, forget the screams of men and children who and in great pain and forget the smell of electrical burned out body. I’ve seen so many bad wounds and post burn contractions, and heard so many tragic stories.. We truly are lucky to leave in Norway. I will think again before I speak badly about the health system back home..
The last week in Ethiopia I also got ill and had on and off fever, headache, tummy troubles and just overall lack of energy. When I came home from work the last day I had a high fever and could barely make it you of bed.. But God is good, and the morning I woke up for the safari (in Tanzania) I was feeling good and ready to see the animals! We had a great day at Lighthouse Beach Resort (recommended!) with the beach to ourselfs and great food and service. The safari was awesome. (Paka Adventures can be recomended.) We got a close look at girafs, lions, elephants, zebra, birds and much more (as you can see from the pictures). Oh, and should I probably mention I’m on Zanzibar now! We went for Tanzania for a safari and then came to Zanzibar for a week to celebrate christmas and just to relax. It is amazing here. But it is H.O.T. wow. At least 30 degrees in the shadow! But white beaches, blu sky, delicious seafood and gorgeous nature, makes up for it. I like it. I must admit though that there has been rain today, and we’re talking heavy rain, so that there has been little sunbathing today.. But that only gives us a good reason to sit back, read my book and relax inside. (Ok, so I wrote that when the internet was down.. Today we moved in to a new hotel; Zanzibar Ocean View – and that’s exactly what I got; ocean view! It’s gorgeous! I’ll post pictures from today tomorrow.)
For christmas eve we have booked table at a 6-course (right word?) dinner and by the looks of it – it will be good! MmMmM AND it will cost only up to $50!
The next couple of days the plan is to go delphine safari, a spice-market thing, water sports up north at a beach ranked as one of the 10 best beaches in the world and just dip in the clear blue ocean and get tan.
I don’t have time to write more now, but I’ll try and post more tomorrow! Enjoy the pictures!
