I'm feeling pretty fried.
The flight was gruelling; the first leg (from Leeds to Heathrow) was delayed leaving and delayed landing due to the high winds so I had to dash across the airport to get my flight to Johannesburg. I was the last of the last of the stragglers.
For some reason I couldn't check my bag through to Gaborone from Leeds so I had to do South African Immigration, which took ages, only to discover that they'd lost my suitcase (in fact they'd lost a whole container full of suitcases). So I was stuck at the carousel for an hour, desperate to get my flight but not desperate to arrive in Botswana without any clothes!
The suitcase arrived just as I was about to give up so I raced through my second airport in 12 hours only to discover that the South African airways desk was completely clogged up with Brazilians deliberately trying to take extra baggage to Sao Paulo. Then I had to do security again, and emigrate from South Africa!
On arriving at Botswana they wouldn't let me in.
Not kidding.
I had to put a Botswanan address on the immigration form and, of course, I didn't know one. So I got given a red ticket (everybody else got green) and I got sent to see another official who decided that I seemed OK and could come in after all.
Since then things have been fine, I've been looked after really well by the Skillshare people. I've been taken out to lunch and had the gen on what's going on in Gaborone. Tomorrow I'll be starting my placement.
