safe and sound

just a quick one to say i have made it to destination 1 fine. am a bit more culture shocked than i'd expected considering i'm in a major city so not even roughing it yet! but south africa is a very different place in many ways. am still pretty tired from not sleeping well on the plane and then getting up at the crack of dawn today for a farmers market! but all is well, lizanne and jannie are the perfect hosts and her son ruan (16 months) is a delight.
not much internet connection possibilities though and so this is just a brief one before i set off on my sketchily arranged journey to quelimane in mozambique on monday.
am settling into this life but miss you all lots and feel a little anxious at times. mostly just sorry it isn't easier to stay in touch at the moment, but hey, i'm not supposed to spend my year constantly in touch with home. well thinking of lots of you and will keep updating here as often as i can.
