Pembroke time

Hi guys! So I arrived at Pembroke yesterday, following a short 8 hour wait at Nairobi airport! The trip to Gilgil was an interesting one to say The least, with giant pot hole, mad trucks...all whilst travelling in the primary school bus with 4 other teenagers! Limited leg room to say the least.
On the way, we stopped off at a supermarket, and you begin to get a sense of the security in large public places, with two guards scanning you as you enter for any 'suspicious objects'. We also stopped off at the top on this hill, where there was the most amazing view of the surrounding countryside. We were over looking mount Longanourt.
It was great to finally meet the other gap students who I'll be working with for  the next couple of months. There's 7 of us all together...4 guys and 3 girls - tristian, James, George, Jodie, Tilly and sophie, and so far, so good! A great bunch. We all had our first visit to the gilgil golf club last night...much smaller than I expected, but great fun.
The school itself is so nice. Its a 'little england, with a Kenyan twist'. There's a pool, table tennis, sports fields, adventure playground, and, of course, a model railway (my personal favourite). All the staff are so friendly here, and all we now need is some children to get going!

That's all for now.

Speak later
