I was at the office this morning. No suprises there. But I'm really enjoying it. The guys are really great and it's good to be busy again.
I went straight from the office into town to withdraw some money. I was down to £1.80 and I still have two weeks before I go to SA. When I got to the bank they refused to serve me without my passport, so I went home to pick it up.
From home I went to Ubuzima, but left early to have a lesson with Mama Judith. She is such a great lady and is a real blessing to me. We spent the first half an hour just talking, and she shared her wisdom with me. By the end I felt very encouraged. Please pray that God would bless her, provide for all her needs and reveal more of himself to her.
OK, back to the bank, this time with all the proper identification. Long story short, it took two hours for them to give me the money. There was queuing, technological failures and an arsey teller who didn't want to serve me. But I kept my cool and handled it very well. Honestly can't understand why there are no ATMs here. Will never complain about Natwest again.
I went to change the money into dollars and buy coffee for Dora's friend in Dar, who has been helping us with our trip. Yes people, I’m going on holiday with Dora and it's going to be awesome! I also picked up some samoosas from Simba Supermarket – the best I’ve ever eaten. Really missing bags with handles. It's hard to carry two or three heavy paper bags home on a bike. I got home at half seven, completely exhausted.
And I spent the rest of the evening packing for my trip to Tanzania.
