We are very safe here in the hotel and much happier now.<br />Sorry Karen; yes, it was my birthday present bag - I loved it so much that it went everywhere with me. Insurance claim though.......<br />Jaba is safe and sound in Gimbie - well he was when I left him. Perhaps they have shipped him to an orphanage!!<br />Plan: British high commission tomorrow to get passport and then out of here to either Ethiopia (if they give us a visa) or UK if not xxxKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02438091662775953703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827139453983445515.post-79861217354177171182011-12-11T21:20:44.561+00:002011-12-11T21:20:44.561+00:00Really sorry to hear of your horrible trials and t...Really sorry to hear of your horrible trials and tribulations.<br />Hope you are recovering and building up your strength both physically and mentally .

Remember that pass...Really sorry to hear your news. Remember that passports, cameras, bags, money etc are all replaceable despite the hassle and any sentimental value (Ballard, surely not your birthday present bag - oh no!) Shocking at the time I know but very glad you are both okay and safe. <br />PS was Jabba in the bag? xxxKaren Lowtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768545212591201017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827139453983445515.post-7642521772819626532011-12-11T16:12:26.090+00:002011-12-11T16:12:26.090+00:00Karen/Jeremy!!
