Arrived safely!

The flight was uneventful, spent chatting to another volunteer and watching Where the Wild Things Are.

I'm now staying at the CommonWealth Institute on the University of Zambia campus for a week, sharing a room with Lena, a girl I met on one of my UK training courses. So far everyone's friendly, VSO Zambia were very efficient at whisking us through the airport and Lena and I wandered into town to a very ex-pat mall and bought sim cards. My phone is now working with a Zambian number - 00260974258224. So feel free to text, or calls cost about 1.4p a minute on skype. A few people have asked for a postal address - you should be able to send things to my new office at Contact Trust Youth Association,PO Box 61050, Livingstone, Zambia.

Nothing else to report except that it's finally stopped raining, and it's now a lovely sunny day!
