Deuxième journée à Negombo
... br>
Ce soir il y a une messe de minuit pour la nouvelle année. L'église est toute décorée à l'extérieur avec des lumières, des ballons bleus et blancs, des fleurs. Mais je ne pense pas qu'on va rester réveillé jusqu'à cette heure là. On sent encore un peu le décalage...

MVU at Perahera (14 hours of hell!)
... our best to make jokes about the situation and attempt to stay cheery. I had told Gemma a few days previously that when I had read about the MVU back in the UK, I had envisioned a crew of men and women in smart collared uniforms with logo-printed baseball caps who jetted about in shiny jeeps rescuing distressed animals and generally being dynamic, organised, action-packed medical people. Hilarious! I really had not thought that a trip with the MVU meant ...
