Manica, what an amazing little town. The scenery of this place is beyonnd imaginable. My first couple of days so far... It Normally begins with a dated pop or RnB song at 5AM it has become my alarm, the reason for this behaviour is because the room me and Mouton share is split into two so you can hear everything that is going on on the other side of the wall, thats where the players sleep. After a 10-15 minute check on the cell phone Sosa would already be at the door and ask if I'm ready to go to the bakery, after grumbling a good morning to each other the shoes and shades come on and we would make way towards the bakery. Due to waking up so early we would normally be the first ones there, yeah you think lovely freshly baked bread well you're wrong, we get the bread from the day before they sell the extras next day so there is no wastage understandable but not what we want, oh well it's not like we have a choice. After a loaf of bread and water for breakfast we then trek to the pitch which is a 8 minute walk away from the bakery and start watching the U17's session that Mouton and Banathy are running. Banathy does get a little frustrated at times due to the language barrier, its normal you can understand but other than that they manage to keep in control of the session and get the the players working hard.


The five a side pitch where we play football is located in the middle of nowhere surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery, i must say i prefer the turf on that pitch than the hub ;) it's not as long and it is comfortable to play on. Anyways so far this is it, I feel like I'm already in the routine that will follow for the next couple of months.
