Well, we’re all packed up, bags waiting by the door and ready to head to Lusaka. It doesn’t seem real right now, and we both feel like we’re heading off for a few days to the capital but will be back next week! We could be in for a rude shock, although I’m sure it’ll sink in once we’re on the plane 
We’ve spent the day over in Ipafu visiting Danny and Carol our friends who are peace corps volunteers. We took Barry along as he and Freda will hopefully be able to offer some support to Gret, a six year old girl who Danny and Carol have befriended and will be very sad to leave in August. They’re looking to find some way of supporting her when they return to the States and we’re hoping Freda will be able to help them out
After a speedy packing and cleaning session (and a small sleep for me!) we headed off to the Protea (again!) to meet with our friend Bill and his family. An hour and a half after we’d planned to meet they arrived telling an equally sad tale of vehicle breakdowns-we could well and truly sympathise!
More goodbyes and onto the office to handover our new fancy posh clinic folder to Barry and discuss the final ins and outs so it hopefully runs smoothly on our departure…..
After scratching our heads a little over the budget it was time to head up for our last supper with the family Ilunga plus guests (16 of us in total!). We were spoilt with a fantastic spread and treated to a lovely African clock and some lovely words
It’s now past midnight and there are only 3 sleeps left until we’ll be home……
Adam, Helen,
Congratulations on completing your ‘Tour of Duty.’
A fantastic achievement and well done on the fridge!
Look forward to seeing you soon,
Mark
