On Mayday we went to Livingstone for a week. We stayed in Falty Towers which is a backpakers-hostel. It was cozy but food there wasn`t very good but was cheap, so it didn`t really bother us and there were lot of nice restaurants just outside.

On Sunday we went to see the Victoria falls world heritage side. The Falls' local name is Mosi-oa-Tunya which means the smoke that thunders and that is what it is like. We walk around the national park and we got totally soaked because it was like beeing in shower. After that we went abseiling which was very nice. Paula also did a gorge swing.

Next day in afternoon we went to sunset ”booze” cruise on river Zambezi. It took 2,5 hours and we could drink as much as we wanted. We also see couple animals :) After that we went to see how is Livingstone nightlife.

Tuesday morning we went quad biking and we had lot of fun! We got very muddy because last night it was raining. After that we went to the bridge to do some extreme activities. First we did a slide over the rapids, then we did 111m bungee jumps from the bridge. It was very scary but felt great, it felt like we got the wings for 30 seconds (or how Pippa says it was like being a human jojo). We think that the only mistake was to do it when we were hangower, because Pippa felt very sick after the jump.

We also went for a helicopter flight over the falls. The falls looked fantastic from helicopter. Last afternoon we also went to walk with lions.

Allover we had great time in Livingstone and it was shame that we had to come back already on thursday. We had some proplems with visas so we had to go the immigration office on Friday. But it's all sorted out now and we dont have worry about anything here anymore.

And aswers to your questions:

The best experiences here have been the trip to Livingstone, quad biking and a bungee jump.

We haven't been anywhere else than Malawi and we are not planning other trips outside the country because we haven't had enough time.

Next two weeks we'll be in labour ward and we'll tell about it next time.

We were two weeks in neonatal intesive care unit (NICU). There was much very small premature babies, smallest ones weihgted only a half kilo. This was the first ward where they use a alcohol rub a lot. They had lot of hospital equipments like incubators, infusion pump and rescution tables but some of thems were broken and they didn`t have spare parts to fix them. They couldn`t also use infusion pumps at all because they didn`t have proper giving sets.

The first morning wasn`t very nice, because one baby stop breathing and nurses tried to save him but he didn`t survive. It was very hard to see a little baby dying and we almost cryed. Overall it was very nice to work with tiny little babies, they were so cute. We would have wanted to take one pocket size baby with us to Finland. :) There were babies whose mother were died and one baby who was dumped and we were like the foster moms to them for two weeks.

The hospital didn`t provide nappies or clothes for the babies. If parents didn`t have money to buy them or the mom wasn`t there to taking care of the baby, babies were just wrabbed in the blanked without clothes and a nappy. Mothers came to the ward every two or three hours to feed and take care of the babies and we took care of the babies whose mothers were sick or died. Fathers weren't allowed to come to the ward. We learnt to cupfeed babies because they don't recommend to use feeding bottles because of the hygienic reasons.

There were lot of hiv-positive babies because hiv-mothers have much bigger change to have prematured babies. Everyday at least one baby died. Most of the babies didn't have good change to survive.

Next we are going to labour ward. We have only two weeks left of our practical placement here and soon we will be coming back home.:)
