Nah, mate. Not me....

The Afex camp is tented but it's not reserved for aircrew so there are a fair amount of other aid workers there. Cold water showers but it's so hot you won't notice, food's pretty good and there is an internet facility but it drops occasionally. Didn't see many camel spiders but there are snakes. It becomes a swamp when it rains (around this time of year ). Beds are a bit cramped and if you need to take a leak at night just paddle the bed across to the communal ablutions (Beds are shaped like canoes and hard on the spine). Lots of mozzies, fair bit of traffic out of Rumbek and I believe they now have a tower. Not much to do so drag along plenty of reading material as the camp TV is pretty much fully occupied by the locals watching netball for boys.
