I didn’t finish the firsts, so here they are: First time driving by myself for a long trip in Zambia. Steve usually does all the driving.
First time getting money out of a ATM in Zambia. I have done it in Jo’burg, South Africa. Steve left what he thought was enough money. We didn’t realize some accounts were not set up yet. So I had to get money to pay for the guest house stay. There are sooo many people all over the place, it makes me nervous when Steve is getting money out of an ATM. All bank ATM’s do have guards there 24 hours a day.
First time putting fuel into our vehicle. Now I do have to say this is no big deal as all gas stations are full service. You just pull up and tell them to fill it up. But I do have to count out all that money to pay for it. I can’t just swipe my debit card and it be paid for. I have to count out the bills. Then I had to remember to fill the book out with mileage, liters put in, amount paid. I almost forgot the first time. Then, Tobias took that over as he was riding shotgun.
Now this next one is not a first, but I hardly ever do it. This is where I’m going to tell you that my husband spoils me and I live him for it. Putting talk time on my phone. Here we buy scratch cards and then enter the codes into our phones to get more talk time.
Now this is a first, sending talk time from my phone to my husbands phone in Cape Town. It actually is quite easy once you know what you are doing.
