Here are a couple of pics from my journey to the U.K. My flight was via Cairo (Egypt). On the first flight, I sat next to a girl who was also on her way to London. It was great having someone to chat with during my stopover. There wasn't much to do, so we ended up taking photos with the statues in the duty free shop :-) The flight from Cairo to the U.K was really awesome - beautiful view of the Mediteranean sea, Adriatic sea and parts of Europe. When I arrived at Heathrow airport, it took a while to get through the border control as the international queue had a VERY long line.
At the baggage collection area, I realised that my guitar was "missing in action". I inquired and found out that it got left behind in Cairo! Apparently the lady that booked my luggage at Johannesburg airport, only booked the guitar to Cairo! But, the airport managed to find it and will be delivering it tomorrow here in Chesham.
I stayed over at some friends on Saturday who had also been in Bosnia (Carol & Ollie). On Sunday they brought me to Kate's place where I am staying for the first week.
Today we woke up very early to go to the Bosnian Embassy near Gloucester Road Station. It was great travelling on the tube again! Had some spare time before the Embassy opened, and decided to grab a coffee. Talk about strong coffee!!! :-)
All went well at the embassy. Had a short interview with a lady from the consulate and submitted my application. They said that if all goes well, I should receive feedback within 10-15 days. It can however take up to 30 days to process. Please can you keep this in prayer. It would really be awesome if the visa came through quickly as then I'll be able to join the team in Mostar sooner.
Tomorrow our mission training starts. Am looking forward to meet the other couple who will also be joining the Mostar long term team in the next few weeks.
Well, that's all for now. Will let you know as soon as I receive feedback regarding the visa application.
Take care,
L xx
