I arrived in Lusaka on Thursday afternoon, after an exciting landing in a rain storm (the pilot pulled out of the first attempt to land due to poor visibility). Then a long story short, I got into a taxi with the wrong person, but luckily worked it out before getting too far! Now staying with some lovely people, the brother and sister-in-law of a friend from work back home in NZ. They have been very hospitable.
Am enjoying the sights and sounds of Africa! ... hundreds outside the high court singing, lots of curious eyes as I drive past, one man yelled "Hey! White girl!" As I sit here in the internet cafe there's a group singing and dancing and drumming outside. I spent yesterday afternoon playing with the children of the servants at the house where I'm staying, they giggled like crazy! At one point I had 5 pairs of hands playing curiously with my hair, and they sat and stared and questioned and commented "your skin is red" "your hair is nice" "you have a moustache" "bring your children tomorrow so we can play with them" etc etc. So I am enjoying it!!!
I leave for Kalene on Thursday, subject to my nursing registration interview being done by then. This depends on some documentation they need from NZ. If there is a delay in getting that, then I may have to delay my departure. Very annoying, and as a result of my own oversight!
No photos as yet, as my camera is over-exposing so won't take any pictures outside.
