We have arrived!!!!
At last we have arrived safe and sound!! After an hours delay in Paris we arrived at Abidjan, The Capital City, at 19:30. After picking up our bags we were met by a teacher from IRMA who took us to our hotel in Bassam, about 20 minutes drive away. the landing of our plane was terrifying as there are no lights at all around the airport, so I was just looking out of the window thinking we were quite high up when suddenly the plane landed and bounced down the runway!!! The temperature was around 28 Celsius, although we were told that the daytime temps go up to 35........air conditioning on at full blast I think! at the hotel we were met by a few more teachers and we sat in the hotel lounge getting to know each other and setting out what would happen this week. tomorrow we are going to IRMA school to give a presentation on Blackburn and Pleckgate and we will also meet all the staff and management team. I'll try my best to download some photos for you all to see tomorrow. Must get some rest now to be fresh for first day in Cot d'Ivoire!! TTFN!
