The Build for Better Lives team have safety arrived at the trade winds accommodation. Luggage has been placed in the room and we are now sharing a wonderful lunch with Carl and Bob from Habitat for Humanity and Pam and June from the Tradewinds B and B.
The journey has gone with military precision, with the exception of the plane from Johannesburg to Durban - The pilots chair had to be changed (honest!)adding an hour to the final part.
2 of the Service Users have never flown before - so talk about throwing them in the deep end - but no concerns at all.
On our Journey to the accommodation we have already witnessed affluent housing to the right of the motorway - and poverty stricken townships to the left, quite an amazing yet difficult concept to understand at this early stage.
I think its about 13.30 here at the moment - I'll be honest - it could be midnight on Christmas day for all anyone knows at the moment...Everyone will spend the next hour unpacking and freshening up - ready for our Habitat for Humanity brief at 15.30hrs.
We shall update later.
Glad you all arrived safely and sounds like you're all very much taken with the beauty of SA: Pilot's chair!? Well I guess you would have to feel comfy if you're flying a huge beast and everyone on board is dependent on you! Stress massage chair required!
