coming home!

so the strike has been lifted! and i will be able to come home as planned. which is nice because for as much fun as i have had, i am starting to get a bit lonely (have really started talking to myself!) and well, it is time, no need to be sitting in the hostel or at the south african airlines queue at the airport for that matter. i got out of lusaka yesterday morning, which is a good thing because renee just emailed me and told me that lusaka has a diesel shortage right now and buses are not running...and she also told me that one of the suspects in the london bombings was just arrested in lusaka, good grief!

with my last day in joburg, i went to see some fossils and a live cave, it was pretty cool.

i just packed and weighed my bags--i left for africa with 1 backpack weighing about 13 kilos. i am coming back home with 1 backpack, 1 other bag and 1 fragile parcel that needs to be gate checked, estimated total weight: 35 kilos! crap. i am one of those people who will have to rent the trolley to push my stuff through customs.

when i get back to town, i will put some pics online and a list of travel tips to africa.

wish me luck that there are some quality in flight movies!!! peace out.
