Return to Honiara

It's pretty good to be back in Honiara. I've got a nice little self contained unit not far from centre of town ... about 500m from my friend Katie's new house. The place has got a small kitche/living space, separate bedroom and bathroom and an office area - biggest problem is no wi-fi but the owner is trying to sort that out for me - so difficult to skype people yet.

I was at college yesterday and had some good meetings - and managed to stay awake which was impressive. Last night I went for a swim with a consultant from NZ who I met last time and just happened to be here again. Sadly he left today cos he was good fun. Today I went to the market to get fruit and veggies at 7am and then met Katie and her friend at the Lime Lounge ... local ex-pat coffee shop. Quick trip to the craft shop - except I'm not allowed to buy any more stuff - as John is busy selling everything at home.

Currently sitting in King Solomon hotel, listening to some nice music and eating crayfish. I only cmae down here to use the internet. Just met a consultant from World Bank so I've been telling him all about 'Confessions of an Economic Hitman'. I must finish listening to it.
