So it’s been a couple of weeks since my last post. This has mainly because I’ve been working loads. However, excluding my on-call commitment, I now only have 11 working days left 🙂

My preparations have continued and these have included a visit to the dentist to check all was ok and second round of vaccinations.
I also have booked an Overland trip from Cape Town to Victoria Falls. I just need to work out how to get from Victoria Falls to Nairobi via Lake Malawi and Zanzibar?? That’s for another day.

I’ve also been trying to have a sort out at home, and made £100 doing a car boot sale yesterday. Every little helps when I’m not getting paid for a year.

After 2 weeks of head scratching, some very questionable document conversion from JAVA into JPEG via Microsoft Paint!!! And hours of help from the very clever Hannah B, my Visa application went off to the Zambian Embassy, and I’ve been approved. THIS IS NOT A DRILL….this is actually going to happen 🙂

So this week, apart from having my 1st round of vaccinations (special mention to Sue, who poked me 67 times on my sore arms), is that I have been looking at Visas for each country I am planning on visiting.
My first destination is Zambia, which will require a visa. But it’s all a little bit confusing, because there is so many different options, and I am planning on entering Zambia a second time, when I do my Over Land Truck Tour. I also have to prove that I am going to leave, so I have now brought my 2nd destination flight to South Africa. Hurray for South Africa….no Visa required.
I actually can’t believe how organised I’m being….it’s actually giving me a headache 🙂
