Our first few days...


Saturday started with an early morning flight to Denpasar, Bali - which was quite quick and uneventful (which is a very good thing when you're flying with Garuda Airlines). After the church teams had some immigration issues which meant we almost missed our connecting flight, we did make it to Jakarta Saturday night and loaded up the church bus with 28 people and LOTS of luggage.

We went to GVI church the next morning and then caught our flight to Pontiniak, Borneo. Our 'air-conditioned coach' turned out to be an old mini-bus with open windows and our 11 hour trip turned out to be 15 hours - probably has something to do with the driver stopping for dinner...and then to take a shower at his house...and then to have a sleep...and then to have a smoke...and then to have another nap...you get the idea!

We are now at Living Waters, which is amazing. There are orphanages, volunteer quarters, a training centre, workshop and heaps more. We're finally off to bed now but will update more on what we'll actually be doing soon.
