Well, today was the last morning of school - I taught four classes before 11.30, while Kathryn sorted things out for Lucy, who was due to come back today, but because of a strike at the ariport somewhere (typically French), she has now been rebooked for tomorrow - leaving the hotel here at 5.00am.
We had lunch in the canteen, with a meal that was not quite so appetising as last week, but it was free for us. In the afternoon we went to the Tjibaou Cultural Centre with the host children. The building is architecturally fascinating, and it tells the history of the local Kanak people, but it seemed to be so much hotter today, or maybe we were more tired, so its effect was somewhat reduced unfortunately.
Tomorrow we get on a bus (airconditioned, we hope) to go to Bourail where there is a New Zealanders' cemetery. It's the students' last night with their homestays tonight, and tomorrow morning they will get dropped off at school ready to wheel their bags back to the hotel before we leave for Bourail. Some of them are dropped off at 7.00am, I heard today, so no wonder they are feeling a bit jaded now.
Forgot to bring my camera down to transfer the photos for this, but maybe tomorrow.
