We arrived safely with most of our baggage, unfortunately so did the rainy season. Stepping off the plane we were hit by an oppressive heat but within a couple of hours we've been having some spectacular thunder and lightning and thankfully much cooler temperatures.
Poor Esther's luggage didn't turn up - it all seemed very mysterious as Jon and mine were checked through ok from Edinburgh to Malawi but Heidi and Esther's had to be checked in and out at Johannesburg. Still she is hopeful of getting it back tomorrow.
The hotel is wonderful, big rooms, aircon (yay!), fridge, lovely big shower and exotic wildlife -though thankfully only one of the latter in my room.
Malawi itself is amazing, I will try and get together some coherent thoughts of my first impressions and post them later.
Now I am going to have a couple of hours sleep before dinner - we've been travelling for 24 hours and even though I got more sleep on the plane thant others I am still shattered.

Just found this - yay. I have linked to it from the laptop in your new office (hope you like it): see http://adventuresofyoshikawa.blogspot.com/2008/11/new-office.html
Hi, Glad to hear you have arrived safely. From your description, hard to imagine a greater contrast from your usual surroundings in St Andrews. We're missing you already! Jeremy
Sounds like you have great accommodation, Vicki. Aircon - excellent. Just hope you have your mosquito net with you. ;-)
Keep in touch, can't wait to hear what you've been up to.
