South Africa Break

I had 2 exams to write in South Africa, about 2 weeks apart so I took the opportunity to do some shopping for my house, and stock up on
goodies that were not available in Pemba. I nearly cried the first time I went into a supermarket – everything was so cheap! Prices in Pemba are easily double if not more for the same items!!! I had come prepared – only 6kg of luggage, leaving a good 30kg open for things to take back! (OK so I was over weight when I went back, and that is even after I had sent 8kgs with a friend…

To add to my excitement I went to theatre to have had all my wisdom teeth out, and I also had a little car accident on the day of my Portuguese exam – which left our family one car short, which was frustrating because it meant I didn’t have transport, not to mention the excess I have to pay on the insurance!!!!

But it was a nice break – hot showers & good food (when I was finally able to chew again)!
