So we are finally in Lusaka, Zambia. I left Cleveland at 8 am got to the Columbus airport at 11ish. Our professor was running late but it was ok since our flight did not leave until 2. SO we went from Columbus to Washington which was only 2 hours. The next flight was the long one to Johannesburg which was about 8 hours. We stopped in Senegal to refuel for about an hour and then we had another 10 hours till we got to Johannesburg. Then finally another 2 hour flight to Lusaka. Once we went to Lusaka we had to go through customs which was sort of long. When we were at the airport we were supposed to be exchanging out money and getting adapters… but we did not get any of that. We took two big buses to our hotel. The drive was not that bad, but they do drive on the other side of the road. That was interesting.
The hotel is very nice. Nothing to complain about, but we were all hungry but everything was closed, and we also don’t have Zambian money. We also learned that we don’t have internet yet. So I am sure my family is freaking out that I did not call yet but there is no way.
Now we are sitting her watching criminal minds. Its 11:55 pm right now and we don’t have anything to do tomorrow until 1pm. This may be our only down time we have all break from the look of our itinerary.
We also just found out we only have internet for one hour a day between me and my roommate but I guess our teacher is going to work something out… we will see.
It does not feel like we are really here!
