Finally, a fast internet in SA

When we arrived in Chad, stepping off the plane onto a bus was like walking into an open oven. We spent two days in the capital, N'Djamena, finalizing business, then Gary flew us in the small plane to Bere - only about 2 hours flight. We were shown our living quarters "across the street", actually a sand lane, from Gary's and Wendy's house - it is an octagonal hut with thatched roof, a cottage. On Monday, Nov 2, Gary flew us back to the capital to catch our flight to South Africa. Because our flight from N'Djamena only had a few passengers, as we took off the pilot informed us that we would detour to Sudan to pick up more passengers headed to Addis Ababa. As a result of the detour, we missed our South Africa flight. We spent 24 hours in Addis waiting for the next flight - at a hotel with meals provided. We met a man also in our predicament who encouraged us so much in the mission for Chad - he had spent some time in Sudan and was heading home. Let's try posting this message . . .
