I
arrived back from Kabwata Village at lunchtime.
I
had arranged to meet Persis the manager of the Hands Around Project
in Chisamba – about 50 miles north of Lusaka. We had lunch together
and discussed progress with the project and caught up on news.
With
help from Persis, I found an Internet cafe and eventually checked in
to my homeward flights.
At
about 10.30 pm my taxi arrived and took me to the airport. My bags on
the return journey were much more manageable. The recent acquisitions
probably took the two cases to over 10 Kg each, but left them below
20 Kg and my backpack weighed as much as its contents!! Without
laptops etc. life was much easier!
My
trip back was straightforward and I arrived on time at Heathrow. I
was surprised when the baggage turntable stopped before my goods
arrived! I went to the enquiries desk and they assured me that they
knew where my cases were – in Amsterdam!! I thanked the lady and
headed to the coach station – with almost no luggage!! I had
allowed plenty of slack when I booked the coach and had arrived just
before the earlier bus was due to leave. The driver was happy to let
me on board – so I arrived home nearly two hours earlier than
expected! My cases arrived the following day which was fine with me
and saved me carrying them!
