Now we can drive in zambia!

So this should be a quick blog to inform you of our triumph today of getting zambian driving licences!! Its taken a long which but finally we have them. I even have a picture but, decided that i didn't ought to put that up without taking out a few bits so some randomer on the internet can't copy it.

So last week we turned up and got our provisional licence, and today we turned up about 9:30 and waited while the manager was at the bank. Then waited some more once she got back. And then got sent to payment booth with instructions to pay for our driving test, and the desk clerk was told to book our test for today. Then back to the manager who then wrote on the test paper that we were getting our licences converted. and also asked for more photocopies of all the documents that we'd photocopied to get our provisional licence. So we were glad we'd spent half an hour yesterday making sure we photocopied everything we own. Then we went and paid for the licence and came back to the managers office to get our nationality changed from British honduras to Great Britian. Lucy's was happy but the computer maintained that Rich was from british honduras and wouldn't change it so, the manager gave up and said she'd work on it later. But if not rich just has to remember he's from British honduras acording to RTSA in zambia!

Anyway,

Thats the big news for today and probably the next few weeks, we're planning a visit to kitwe to go and buy pizza and go to pick n pay mainly just because we can now drive in Zambia and we miss eating pizza.
