Within minutes, the lightning was everywhere, the rain was coming down hard in vertical sheets, and it seemed as if the thunderclaps were in the room with me. It felt like an age before it began to subside, though the storm must have lasted for no more than an hour. I sat up, wide awake, somewhat ashamed that I had not braved the tent but also quite relieved. From my vantage point in the corner of the room, the lecture theatre was an unexpected home from home. The floor was hard but at least it was dry.
