We are here!

Hi everyone! We are finally in Kokstad, South Africa! The flights were very long, but good overall. In Jo'berg we made our flight with only 6 minutes to spare! Thank you for all of your prayers :) Last night we stayed in a B &B next to the airport. Both Bri and I crashed right away and slept through the night no problem. We had an amazing breakfast this morning and then headed off to a church in Durban. The accents here are very fun - they are like a mix of Australian and Brittish. It is funny because everything over here is opposite of the US - literally everything :) (from driving on the left side of the road to the toilet flusher...) Well, we have a lot to unpack, but here are a few pictures so far.


On our first flight of the 36 hours of traveling

The 16 1/2 hour flight... Bri was sleeping and the guy sitting in front of us asked if he could take a picture ;)
I guess there is a story behind this guy in our rooom, but we haven't heard it yet... All we know is that he stays in our room and we can't pronounce his name. We call him Xander because that's as close as we can get ;)

These dogs like to stick their heads through our window (literally, through it) and say hi :)


This is a quick picture of our room
