Water shortage
For unknown reasons, the water currently leaving Monrovia's water plant isn't reaching the ship in the quantity we require. We have been under strict water rationing for nearly 2 weeks now, which involves 2 minute showers, closed laundry and even eating off disposable plates. And since we can't use the ship's water for cleaning our Land Rovers and Nissans, we are buying swamp water from down Somalia Drive ($10 US for 1000 litres)...Please pray that water starts to flow freely soon, so that we can build up our non-existent reserves before we sail in just over a months time.

Hey Olly -
Marius Prinsloo sent along a link from your blog.
Your post re: water shortages brings back vivid memories of many late nights chasing water trucks and such. I guess some things never change.
My wife and I are here in the Washington DC area, and expecting our first child any day now. We'll move to Cairo sometime in mid-2009.
Glad to hear that things are going well for you and yours in Liberia.
Best,
Eric Williams
