Back online - briefly!

We have been experiencing internet difficulties recently. The internet provider for the Christian Vision Farm in Zambia is located in Kenya. The service is extremely slow and often unavailable. Andy discovered that the allocation for the month had been reached, so no more availability until the 1st April. From the 18th of March we have had virtually no signal so Andy is currently trying to find an alternative provider.

Yesterday the installation of a signal from the transmitter tower on the new site directly to the farm some 35km from Lusaka, was started. Today it continues to be installed to it will be another day before he knows whether this plan will work.

There are internet cafes and coffee houses with internet facilities in Town, so whenever we come through we try to have lunch at one of them and get online, while munching our lunch.

Today being 1st April I eagerly tried to get online to discover that the signal had not improved. So I am now sitting in Kilimanjaro Cafe writing this post.

Perhaps if I was able to go to Mount Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania, I would be able to get a better signal!!
