We did wonder if the Blog should be changed to... "Where in the world is the Chile GOLD team...??!"
So... the day started with a mix up! 8.30 am we arranged to meet in the lobby for breakfast, everyone got up and dressed and sorted out, wandered downstairs, and gathered at the sofas... only problem was that Kirsty set he phone alarm.... in UK time... one hour waiting downstairs, and we were visited by Rachel, to check that we had rememberd to set an alarm (very kind we felt!) and we said "ohh we´re ok, just running a few minutes behind, we´ll be down soon."
Carried on non-the-wiser... it wasn´t until 11am Spanish time that we twigged we were in the wrong time zone... very polite everybody!
It worked out quite well as it gave Charlotte a chance to get some jobs done on the computer.
Another buffet breakfast later, and we decide it´s time to call the airline. "where are our bags??!"
"We have found four of them, they will be delivered today to the hotel"
YAAAAAAAY!! Hoorah! and lots of shouting and jumping around later...
...We decided to sit outside under the shelter to sort out project files... We visited Reception to inform them we were waiting for our luggage and Hey Presto! It had arrived!!! 4 bags were back in our possession (lucky Sam, Rach, Linz and Helen!) We then worked through all our session plans and ordered them, as well as managing to write a few more! We discussed adaptability, and how we may be able to use them. We linked them to GAT and talked about where links can be created. This session took us to a late lunch, it was useful to us all, as it gave us opportunity to consolidate information and to organise and determine who-needed-what (and that Helen was hoarding a load of session plans ;) lol).
Lunch... which is NOT a buffet!!
We then celebrated the arrival of the bags with a late afternoon swim, and some team bonding time.
Another phonecall to the airline... still no sign of the other two bags :(
Buffet tea...
...and an early night!
TTFN - Team Chile xx
