• Day 1

    11hrs and we finally land at Johannesburg airport. The flight has been booked straight through which means we only have 2hrs to transfer onto the next plane. It's a rush..!
    We grab our bags and the straight up to the check in for the second flight to Durban . It was all going so well when the lady a the check in said that one of the labels did match out receipts.
    Sure enough we had picked up some else's bag.
    We raced down to the baggage handling office only to be told we could go through to customs to see if our bag was there. In the end we couldn't miss our flight so we left Gladdis a lovely lady with the task of finding the bag and getting it to us. (to be continued...!)
    We set of on the 5hr journey up the coast to Foundation Lodge where Nkosie is ready to meet the volunteers.
    This table has had many volunteers around it but never two families. We have arrived safely and have the pleasure of an amazing home cooked meal. Butternut Soup and home made bread 🥖 Sooooooo nice, thank you Mai
