Photos From Ralf

Ralf has sent over some photos of where he is etc, so I thought you might like to see it all.

The first one is showing you the luxury on the flight over. Nice and close, and very comfortable.

This next one is showing you his bed space. He shares the "room" with 3 other guys, there is a mosquito net over the bed to keep away all the bugs. Nice and cosy, air conditioning, but still not home.

The next one is the view next door to his room, what a great swamp. He said they get woken nice and early by the bigs, goats, chickens and roosters make a nice noise, and of course the bull frogs going at it all night long.

Next up is their swimming pool. A great assest for them to have with it being so hot, they can hardly do laps of the pool, but just enough to cool down.
This one is showing you the bar that has been built beside the pool. Bar is said very loosely as of course they are not allowed any alcohol over there, so it is just soft drinks and chips etc. Very cool looking though!!!
A nice picture of a local family, on their transport!

This next one shows you their hanger where the choppers are from above, if you look closely you can also see the swimming pool as well. the white rectangle buildings to the right are the accomodation.
I thought you might like to see their pets! I cannot remember why he said they had turtles, but they have built a pit for them all!
Last but not least some photos of what appears to be a favourite time filling exercise. Ralf will be loving it as he does like his poker.

Food over there is good, in fact to good, so he has been running every day and going to the gym, also of course used to fill in time. He sent an e-mail last night "I saw a really big rat this morning might have been the same one that sqeaked last night when we where watching TV the guy next to me must have trod on its tail as it squeaked and gave us a fright. I saw the hurricanes rugby game last night so that was cool they won. We are doing a building project for this little village about 10kms away they have a little church but no seats so we the Aussies and us are going to build them some church pews(seats) and paint there church and build a book case and some chairs the kids there are really friendly once you speak to them they have big smiles. I haven't seen any monkeys yet but I am on the look out.
