This is the theme of our trip from Madrid to Zambia. We nearly missed every flight and every connection. The flight from Madrid to Heathrow was actually forced to sit on the runway till we could haul 3 kids from one end of the airport to the other.....Never fly IBERIA. However, 3 flights, 3 trains, a bus and a car ride and 24hrs later......Ndola airport.
Fortunately we had a bit of reprieve in the Kerr pool. They took us in for the weekend. Now some more humble dwelling at the Transafrica Theological College.
We had an awesome time in Spain biking the hilliest country in Europe. We could not believe how challenging and rewarding it could be....I don't want to give it away, because we will be blogging about it shortly.
After Europe Zambia is a bit of a culture shock. In our first 2 days we were faced with the death of 2 people via Malaria. It is hot....we are dirty, the shower doesn't work, the kids are sleeping in a tent because there are no mosquito nets, but we have already begun building, networking and kate is teaching English. There is a huge crunch to get some plants in the ground here too because there are 3 weeks till it rains.
More to come soon.
