... and I am home again - and only 4 hours late! Flying around Africa on tin-pot national airlines is really not the way to do it. (I hope John doesn't read this otherwise I won't be able to stop him from rushing out to buy an aeroplane!) We were delayed for 2 hours out of Kigali on Rwanda Air ... got to the hotel in Entebbe at 11pm ... up again at 4am ... SAA to Johannesburg (that one worked ok). Then a long wait for Air Botswana who were nearly 2 hours late leaving JNB (and through a mega thunderstorm) but it didn't matter because the Air Botswana Francistown flight was delayed due to a breakdown of the incoming aircraft from Kasane. That flight arrived about 3 hours late so were delayed 4 hours in Gaborone. Gaborone airport must be the hottest airport on this earth ... there are no fans, no AC and no thought went into the design to ensure air flow through the building - it is dreadful.
But it's great to be home even though I've only been away 10 days. Everyone missed me and now we are on the countdown to the final week of the FCTVE project and then Christmas. Still haven't decided whether to stay in Francistown (not the favoured option - it is just too hot) ... go to Cape Town to see Desna and Miranda (and where John might have another hospital procedure) or to join Daniele and Tom in Zanzibar ... decisions, decisions. We'll let you know what the outcome is!
