we have internet

Hello everyone,

After 3 days we finally have internet access on the campsite.

Everything is going well and the team are fine and having a great time.

After setting off from the Scout Centre we arrived at camp at around 3.30pm to find that the tents had already been put up , however the toilet block was not yet finished. the were due to be finished by the morning

We had an afternoon and evening of introductions and a BBQ which was very nice. It rained like an old 17th Harrow scout camp but we all managed to stay dry from the rain but not from the local wine.

Friday- Toilets still not working. (Should be midday) Went into the village and saw the restoration project on the 4 buildings which took longer than expected due to unforeseen toilet stop for 50 people in one toilet. Wandered back to the site and the lesson for the day was map and compass. (Still no toilets or showers should be finished in the evening) It was starting to get very hot. British participants undertook their cultural evening which was a huge success culminating in everyone round the campfire shoulder to shoulder singing "What's the story, Balamory' (still no toilets or showers)

Saturday A day out in Georgia countryside. Starting with a trip to a very nice winery (11.30) then a church, a monastery and a swim in the lake. In the evening we went to the 'City for Lovers', Signagi where we had a very pleasant, if not slightly boisterous meal in a restaurant, before singing our way all the way home.

Sunday - rejoice, the showers are now working but only for the ladies and they ran out of water. (long story and no workmen on site)

Busy morning building a dam, a path and clearing srcubland for a football pitch. Just had lunch and the thunder is getting closers- so much for the factor 50 and shorts.

Signing off to keep dry. will update later with photos.
