The South Leith group arrived safely in Zambia after a trouble free but exhausting journey from Edinburgh. Last minute passport problems were dealt with admirably by all concerned but with a special mention to Joyce Armstrong.
The flights to London and Lusaka were both on schedule although the Lusaka flight left London a little late. We passed the time at Terminal 5 browsing in the many shops and snacking on one or two of the offerings there.
The overnight flight to Lusaka started with a good dinner and ended with a less than inspiring breakfast. There were numerous movies available, from 'Slum Dog Millionaire' to 'Australia', albums to listen to and TV programmes to watch. The group passed its time with these diversions or trying to get some sleep.
We arrived in Lusaka a little early to be met by Dorothy and Albert from the school. They had made arrangements for our passports to be processed so our entry into Zambia was as smoothe as it could be, although it wasn't speedy!
We were then met outside the airport by a group of teachers who helped us with loading the luggage onto the truck and were accompanied on the 'infamous' bus by one or two on our journey to Fringilla.
