Mum's visit to Zambia!

As Jon said...I've had an awesome time in England...although weird not to be with Jon for such a long time. I was able to see lots of friends and family, rest, eat and buy lots of resources etc for the school.

And now it's a big 'Woop' as so excited that Mum is sitting here right next to me...in ZAMBIA! After squeezing everything except the kitchen sink into our suitcases we set off from Southampton to Heathrow.

We had a lonnng 10 hour night flight which was quite turbulent and uncomfortable but fun to be together!!...

Great to be met at the airport by Jon, Hilary and Jarrett. Then it was back to the flight guest house to catch up on some much needed sleep after our measly half an hour sleep on the plane.

Last night we had a lovely meal out with the others; making the most of chips before heading back to Amano next week!

Jarrett and Hilary at 'Mike's Kitchen'.

Today, we went to the Lusaka craft market and were able to get some lovely goodies and some neutral clothes for Jon who was planning to attract the Lions on safari with his bright orange football shirt!

Mum enjoying the craft market!

So tomorrow we're off on our safari at South Luangwa National Park...all VERY excited! We'll be staying in  lodges just outside the national park and going on a walking and driving safari each day. yay! Setting off early in the morning for an hour flight followed by a 45 minute drive to the lodge. Will try and blog pics asap.
