Take 2...

Tomorrow I will try going to South Africa again. The landrover Defender is called: Terrance, because he has a turtle sticker. So, everyone, please surround me in a ball of luck and good wishes, I don't want another broken down car!

What I found out today, Harare doesn't have fresh water. No fresh water in the pipes! Barbara and Ralph actually have a borehole in their garden! And do you know how they chose the borehole site? A diviner came by, you know with a forked wooden stick and you hold the forked end and if the stick shoots down there's water. Apparently, its really reliable and it works.

The power has outed here and we're running on a generator, so I'm posting quickly and I will update again later.

Oh, one more thing, I had a spider in my room. I hope you all appreciate quite how terrified I am of them. Look up the spider on google. Its called the "flatty" spider, because, well, it's flat. It was as big as my palm (well, including the legs). I'm ashamed to say I freaked out and woke up Barbara and Ralph. Ralph then scared it off but didn't manage to catch it. He did tell me they are completely harmless and I'll be seeing many more of them and they eat mosquitoes so they're good. Well, I hope in 5 months I'll be completely cured of my spider phobia. Else I don't know if my heart will survive.

Take care everyone, lots of love!
