Lusaka at last!

My journey began Tuesday evening in Ottawa, as I borded my first flight at 1800 to Toronto. It ended 29 hours later, at the Guest house in Lusaka. Technically the trip is not over yet, as I am not flying up to Kalene Hospital until after I get my papers in order for my nursing licence and work permit. I slept 45 min on my flight to Heathrow, followed by a 2 hour nap on a bench in Heathrow and 15 min sleep on the following flight....to say that I was exhausted, would be a cruel understatement. How I got through immigration and customs without forgetting my name is a mystery!
I began today with crashing for a nice 5 hour sleep at the guest house, then it was off to the races...or slow meanderings that take place in  Zambian goverment offices. Alongside a seasoned nurse from Kalene, and a couple of other short-termers, we headed to the Zambian Nursing Council on public transit to begin the process of becoming registered nurses in Zambia. We have been promised an interview with the nursing council tomorrow, necessary for acquiring the licence, but most likely it won't happen until next week. I'll be in Lusaka until I get this licence.., and then off to Kalene!
Meanwhile, I have begun to enjoy the modern city of Lusaka. We had a lovely lunch at a cafe and supper at an Indian restaurant...embracing the culture, one butter chicken at a time!
That's all for now...
