Cycling in the storm....

Half term has been and gone so quickly for us! The boarders arrive today and then school starts tomorrow.
It's been a busy week, we have visited and caught up with lots of people which has been really good :-)

On Monday we went to Kitwe Market and bought lots of crafty things, Jona got a Zambia football shirt after their victory in the African Cup Of Nations.

On Saturday we cycled to our friend Hilda's house (also our bemba teacher) to visit her family and see where she lives. It was quite out in the sticks but we were escorted there by her son. Was great to see her daughter and grandson too :-)

When we left we had to find our own way back to the school. We decided to go the long way round rather than travelling through the bush but unfortunately a storm started. The rain was horrendous and then the thunder and lightning started! Pretty scary when the whole ride home is under tall tree's and the lightning here is crazy! I think we both prayed the whole way back and cycled as fast as we could. VERY happy to get back to our little flat, even if there was no electricity for a cuppa!

Me absolutely soaked through!! 

Looking forward to seeing the students again and lots going on for the rest of the term :-)
