Our sincere apologies for the delay in sending out blog updates in recent times! We hope that the following posts will get you up to speed with our more recent happenings.
The past weeks have been something of an emotional roller-coaster ride, as we have said our goodbyes to our dear Mukinge family. We have been so welcomed and loved by all there, and feel very blessed to have been able to spend the last 6 months with these wonderful people. They really do feel like our family.

The last weeks with the Mukinge folk were very special, and included dinner celebrations with the nursing students (including Bear Grylls style caterpillars), and a fantastic "takeaway" lunch with our wonderful workers. A particular highlight was the Thanksgiving dinner with the Mukinge missos the night before we left. Despite being fairly well in the middle of the African bush, a fantastic feast was laid out, and it was a tremendous way to say our farewells to our Mukinge family.

On the morning of November 24 we woke with extremely mixed feelings. Excitement to be beginning our journey home to Australia, but the overwhelming feeling was of sadness to be leaving what quickly became home to us, and to farewell our dear friends.

The flight from Mukinge to Lusaka was a safe but rather bumpy flight which left the passengers in the back feeling rather green. We were glad to get to the Lusaka airport after the 90 minute flight, and after regaining our land legs (and disposing of the vomit bag), greatly enjoyed a KFC lunch!
