Two incidents this week could have provoked heart attacks, both happened on Monday. On going down to the Post Office to check on the whereabouts of my passport ( it was supposed to be getting a Tanzanian visa ) I noticed the realestate office which is holding 2 months worth of my rental bond had cleared out of their offices with just a "To Let" notice on the door.
A quick trip back home and telephone call revealed that they had just moved across the road and were still in business...phew!!
However, the passport story saga continues. I sent the passport to the Tanzanian High Commission in Pretoria by registered post with equally registered return envelope on 14 December. However, on Monday this was still uncollected at the Pretoria post office. After very many attempted calls, I managed to find someone at the High Commission that would collect the mail and have it processed. This has apparently happened and it is on it's way back to Cape Town though I found out today that the tracking number originally provided has now changed and hence why the Post Office had no trace of it when I checked this morning.
I leave Cape Town for Nairobi 17th ( hopefully !! ).
Just some of the joys of living in Africa.
