Well i had a short lie in this morning – missed breakfast!!!!

Spent the morning playing Mini Ping Pong with Arron Heading from the shotgun team – what a laugh that was – he got really into it and it soon became more of an extreme game – it went from playing on the glass coffee table to playing all round the table and the surrounding floor!!!  Boy did he get a sweat on!!!!

The rest of the morning was spent playing cards with some of the shotgunners and the girls from the Pistol team – good fun and it is noce to get to talk with people from other disciplines and get on so well.

The afternoon was interesting to say the least – we decided to go to the local shopping centre as a group (you have to go as a group – no one goes anywhere alone).  So we gathered together and after a head count off we went preceeded by armed police and followed by hotel staff – what a wierd experience that was.  When we got the mall tthere were metal detectors on all entrances and exits and you were not allowed to take any bags into any shop (had to leave bags at a counter and get a ticket to collect it when you left).  Anyway after a successful trip to the shopping centre – things are cheap here (might get Mike some new shirts) – we headed back with the same armed guard.  At the hotal the guards outside inspected the armed gaurds vehicle with mirrors on poles so they could see under the vehicle before letting it into the hotel compound.  More metal detectors for us to go through before feeling safe again in the hotel.

That is about it for today apart from speaking to Mikey later tonight and getting him to upload this for me as the internet connection here is so poor.

More tomorrow!!!!!
