Not only do we work all Saturday, but we usually manage to get a fair amount done on Sundays too. At 11am a truck arrived from Abidjan. We unloaded it in record time so that by mid-day we could pile the consignment for Bin Houy?nd deliver it... before lunch.
Actually it was a leaving party for Klaus and Bernat (doctor and log respectively) and it does not take much of a excuse to travel the hour and quarter south (over the Zone de Confiance). An excellent party with good food, long speeches, loud music and dancing. (Truth be told, Saturday was not all work either - the fact that it was the 1st of May holiday meant it was particularly quiet, with the only work thing being a meeting with the whole of the security team. In the afternoon a couple of football matches were played - first between MSF and the commer?ts, followed by the main event - Force Nouvelle vs Force Licorne. Mix that in with some Ivorian music (current popular song by the garagists is "On est Fatigu? which takes its lyrics from a speech made by the president last year) and bare in mind that most of the rebels are just kids - it was something quite memorable!)
