Bricklayers of Australia beware!

Today we tried our hand at bricklaying. Several of us attempted this task with Scott, Chase, Luca with myself as the brickies labourer managed to lay our first five rows of bricks. The rest of the group made the mortar moved bricks around the site by hand to be we're we needed them and rested from finishing the floor. The foreman is extremely happy with us achieving much more than they thought we could. 

The family supplies us with snacks of biscuits and fruit to keep our energy up! 





After lunch at the school and a short rest we played with the students of the deaf school and helped deliver some to be tested by the audiologists.  It is the schools tenth anniversary next Thursday and we will be joining them in their celebrations and singing for them. The local Bishop will be in attendance so some serious practice of our song will now occur over the next couple of days.  Today the students made us a cake which was very beautiful and absolutely delicious. 


After dinner we went for a walk along the river and did some shopping before returning to our hotel. Tomorrow we are visiting the markets which has bags, jewellery, watches shoes see what 'brand' names we can buy! 

The wifi is troublesome tonight so apologies for any errors or wonky photos.
