Hey guys!
Day 11 has been pretty uneventful to be honest! We had a lie in as we didn't know what we were supposed to be doing! Then we spent most of the day cooped up in our room bored out of our minds! At about 4pm we decided we couldn't take it anymore and decided to go for a walk up the road! It was really hot today and a bit sunny which was a nice change to the rain- its a shame there isn't anywhere for us to sit outside and sunbathe! We headed back to the hotel in time to go out to the boys shelter at about 5pm. We've discovered that the hotel has a rickshaw that they always use and he knows where the Pratham Shelters are, so we've been using him which saves us the hassle of trying to explain where we want to go! We think we might be coming immune to the scariness of rickshaw journeys as today we were sat in the middle of the highway with cars and buses coming at us and we didn't even bat an eyelid! Definately going to have to video one of our journeys for u all to see!! Tonight at the boys shelter we did some case studies on some of the boys- finding out where they were from, their ages etc and why they were living in the shelter! We read one of the only case histories that was in English from one of the boys files and were a bit horrified at what we read. We've just had our dinner in the restaurant downstairs after fighting our way through the smoke they had sprayed everywhere to kill the mozzies! Havnt heard from Christine or Ruchita for a couple of days now and we're fed up of being stuck in Panvel so tomoro we're going to head to Colaba for some shopping (supposed to be amazing there!)
Missing you all lots
love Lisa and Claire xXxXxXx
