Between flight 1 to London and flight 2 to Johannesberg I wisely decided to catch some rest in the Yotel. A hot shower and some rest go a long way. Unfortunately, I was then unable to get any decent sleep on the overnight flight to Johannesberg.
We arrived in South Africa about 20 minutes behind schedule. Not that it mattered to me. We were greeted by a brisk breeze. Let me rephrase that....it was cold! 6 degrees celsius. That's right, Canada is currently warmer than South Africa. Who knew!?! The sun was just piercing the horizon, a beautiful sight somehow more intense when you have been focused on the back of the seat infront of you for the past 11 hours.
Day 3 My flights all connected as they should and my baggage arrived with me in Mozambique. A fabulous thing when all travel arrangements work as planned. Bravo! I was greeted as promised by a representative from VSO and taken to my hotel. I feel truly blessed to know that there is hot water in Mupoto...yes! Already I have dinner plans with fellow volunteers to help acclimitize me into my new home for the next 3 months.
