The ‘TIA’ (This is Africa’) experience begins.
In the early hours I get a phone call from my Sister. They have landed in Dar but the hotel pick up hasn’t turned up, which we sort, and then they arrive at the hotel who have lost their booking. This after all sorts of journey complications which saw them being upgraded!
It ends up with Mum and Dad in one hotel and Dave and Anna down the road in another. They report they had nice rooms and slept well.
We wake with excitement, watching the clock, waiting for their arrival.
We receive a text to say they are just about to board.
We then receive a text saying they are on the plane but there is a delay.
We then get a text saying they are off the plane.
We then get a plane saying they are back on the plane.
They depart.
We spent the morning trying to keep busy and headed for the airport just after 1.
It is so fantastic to have them all, so amazing to be able to share this life experience with them, though also very bizarre. We were drinking tea and it felt like they had just popped round.
I dragged Dave along to Friday football which was very hot but great fun. The rest came to watch and seemed to enjoy themselves. We spent the evening relaxing and catching up, and getting some goodies.
Thank you everyone who sent some along. We are so blessed.
It blows your mind the generosity and love. Thank you!
