Gizo is really quite small so any expats residing here all know each opther in one way or another, and every Weds they have whats called a 'Hash" which is basically where all the expats/tourists/volunteers meet up and go on a big run/walk (i was in the latter group!) around the island and then back to an agreed location - which is usually someones house and have food and drinks etc. its a really nice way to meet people doing loads of weird and wonderful things in the sol islands. We all went on Weds...we didnt realise quite how challenging the walk would be and so rocked up in our plkastic flip flops only to realise we had to climb up muddy mountains and random bits of jungle! ha! luckily i finished the walk with both flip flops still in tact!
We went back to a RAMSI police officers house this week, he's australian and when we walked into his house our eyes lit up for 2 reasons 1; he had a huge washing machine and tumble dryer and 2; we spied a massive BBQ with a load of meat on it : )
the food was amazing. meat has never tasted so good! We made sure to bond with the RAMSI so we could come back and use his washing machine...which we did on Saturday! : )
*RAMSI; Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands. Its like a second poilice force made up from aussie and NZ police who are over here to maintain stability and encoutrage better work ethic in the local police force...or something like that!
