This weekend we realised that we didn't have our passport wallet anymore. In it was our 3 passports, some US Dollars and also our immunisation records!
We have had to go to a police station. That was an experience for Katie and I. The police officers here all carry pistols. So Katie and I were looking at all these police officers with their guns on their sides and in walks a police officer with a semi automatic gun! He just plonked it on the bookshelf and walked off to do something else. Well Katie and I were beside ourselves and the policewoman that we were talking to wanted to know what was wrong! Donald told her that our police don't carry guns and she wanted to know what they used when they were dealing with people.
After that on our way home we saw a tiny police car - our equivalent would be a Mitsubishi Mirage- and it had 4 police officers in it. It looked so funny.
Well we have now applied for our temporary passports (the reason we had to go to the police station was to get a letter to say that we had reported our passports missing). Hopefully we will pick these up on Friday from Pretoria. Monday is when we fly to Lusaka so we are praying that our passports will be ready. We will also have to apply for visas from Zambia to go to the USA as they won't let us in on a temporary passport. Oh well we just have to take things as they go.
Talk to you all later.
