Tada

So I am here! Wow, sitting here in an internet cafe which is pretty much just a room with omputers, nothiung cafe like about it. The keyboard is funny so please forgive my typing. It is all a bit strange, but we are settling in ok. At the moment we are staying at Jim and Jane Currel's house(country directors) whilst they are on home leave. Lizzie and I are being forced to bond ads we are sgaring as crazy water bed. Feels like you are sleeping on a boat the whole time.
The journey was madly long, and I dsiscovered that my body like to make me throw up oin strange situations, Jo'Burg airport is no longer that appealin g to me! We got a real african welcome though, with our polane to Beira leaving an hour earlier than we were told, fortunately helen who works for Oasis was taking the same flight so we got here ok. The plane was tiny really cute, and they gave us boiled sweets before takeoff. At Beira they asked to search my bag aaaaaah and were really intriegued by the footballs, but Marina and Jill were there to explain what we were doing. Then 7 of us plus five lots of luggage crammed into a people carerier and now here we are.
Wwe spent yesterday at the beach at clube nauticos which is the safe buit, and we swam in the pool. We also had our first chappa experiences. They are the public transport system, basically breaking down mini buses crammed with peiople, they are fairly easy top use though as there are only three routes in Beira and the price is always 5 meticais (11p), no matter how far or where you go.
The money is slightly confusing as they have changed currency and there are still some old notes and coings floating around but we wil soon get used to it.
off to lunch at Marinas friends market stall in a minute so,
