So, as I was saying a few months ago, by the middle of January, the boiler in our house was kind of repaired (and I say kind because we were still having some problems but at least there were hot water and heating more often). Just after that, we discovered bedbugs in four bedrooms and had to put everything away so they could fumigate. At night, it seemed all fine and we started to unpackage our things… two days after, more bedbugs came to say hello!
This was Wednesday and our organization told us not to go to
our volunteer places to avoid spreading the bedbugs (it sounds like quarantine
and it was something like it)… Our house was going to be fumigated again with a
stronger product and we were going to be allocated for some days in another
house. We prepared a small suitcase but we couldn´t take any food, and so on we
decided to spend the afternoon eating all our food together, it was going to be
throw anyway.
And the adventure started…
On Thursday we had to put a complete set of clothes in a bin
bag. We went to a launderette to have everything wash in order to kill any
possible bedbugs we could have in. Our organization was in charge of
everything, luckily. We had breakfast and recovered those clothes. We went to
our organization's main centre to have a quick bath and dress up in clean
clothes. Our shoes were cleaned by hand and were still wet. They took our
coats.

| A typical house in Studland |
They put some music in the minibus… it was less than an hour
drive. Our “new” house was in Studland, a small village surrounded by forest
and the sea, the place where we did our induction at the beginning of our
volunteering. To be honest, an incredibly relaxing place where we were going to
spend almost a week. They also bought us some food, we just had to wait.
