Thursday and Friday saw us doing 2 primary schools in Roseau. First off was St Marys Primary School which is just around the corner from the ministry office. We had 30 computers to install there but once again, we were bereft of power in the room. Lugay and his team set about installing the cabling for the room while I checked out the PC’s (I had given Scott the day off as I knew that without power, there wouldn’t be a lot he could do so he and Lisa hired a car and went for a tour).

We battled on through the day and got all the network points installed and all the PC’s fully tested. Tim and Lugay then took me on a night out – ‘Thirsty Thursday’. It was an excellent evening with 2 live bands playing late into the night, most enjoyable after a hard day’s work.

On Friday, we were installing at Convent Prep which is quite close to St Marys from the previous day. Scott, Tim and I had to also attend a press conference that morning at St Martins. The press conference went well, with Scott giving a speech about the project and how things work from the UK side of the operation.

Once we got back to the school, we got cracking with the PC’s and managed to catch up with Lugay and his cabling gang. Convent Prep now has 30 PC’s for the children to use

Once we had finished, we decided to go for a drink at ‘Top Shottaz’, our favourite bar in Roseau (Ady will remember it well from last year). After some refreshing Kubuli, Jem from Rosalie Forest took us back to Tina’s where we packed our bags, said our farewells and headed back to Rosalie Forest Eco-Lodge for a meal and a few more drinks (Hmm, seems to be a theme occuring here). As it was Scott and Lisa’s last evening in Dominica, we had quite a few drinks and then headed to bed.

This morning, we bade farewell to Scott and Lisa as they headed to Melville Hall Airport to begin the long trek back to the UK (and it’s lovely weather). I am staying on for a couple more weeks to do more installations and maybe see a few more of the wonderful sights Dominica has to offer.
