Action in Africa

What a ride! After over 36 hours we have finally landed in Africa.  We are now at the Holiday Inn in Africa where the last leg of our travels to the orphanage is about to begin.  We have another 5 hour drive to get to the orphanage and I can’t wait to stop traveling in any motorized vehicle.  The fact that we stuffed ourselves into a small van with what seemed like 2 tons of baggage made our arrival at the hotel a welcomed one.  At least this bus ride had plenty of leg space.  Poor van had to push its little engine to the limit.

Ever been to a hotel with crocodiles?????  Yes, I can truly say I have.  Just stay out of the wading pool! 5 little crocks in that bad boy.  Needless to say there is a swimming pool that is quite the opposite.  Pictures to come later.  Sleeping has since become more difficult.  Even ran into a large rodent at the bar last night.  That was very special.  I think he/she was a resident seeing everyone ignore it as it ran throughout the ‘hotel’ bar.  Everyone except one gentleman who moved quickly to the upper seating level.

The ride here has been interesting.  The jacka$$ who sat beside us on the plane from London to Joburg drove us crazy.  Shaun almost lost it (as did I) on him.  The melting point was when he was rushing us to get up when we landed so he can catch his connector flight.  Considering there were 10 rows from the back of a 747 and there were 200 + people in front of us trying to get off the plane, I really didn’t think that we were slowing him down.  Luckily Shaun sat beside him cause he was invading Shauns leg space.  I who only had a 1/2 inch of spare space in any direction would have had to rectify the situation by any means necessary.

Anyhow this internet thing here is expensive! (yet I keep using it????? now whos the jacka$$!!!!) I feel rich with all these kwacha’s in my pocket (Zambian currency).  But then I did the math and realized I need more Kwacha to buy one once of bling! so I am back where I started. 

Weather is warm not and not as hot as London or the airplane ride from London (thank Geebus).  Nothing much more to report at least in this little time I have, so you will just have to wait and here about Arny and Shauns first …………….

 Peace!
Action Out!

Keep Bounc’n!
