Day Five - Zambia/Malawi Driving again today - but we crossed the boarder from Zambia to Malawi which didn't take too long. Because I'm part of the commonwealth I didn't need a visa, which saves me a bit. I also had to pay to use a toilet at the boarder crossing, so I was expecting it to be a nicer one, but I was absolutely shocked to find a DROP BOX!!! A filthy, disgusting, horrible smelly drop box! I almost threw up. And I PAID to use that repulsive thing!!! I...

Day One - Zambia So the place I stayed in Livingstone was called the ZambeziWaterfront, and it were tents! The first night I got one that was already set up with a bed in it, but from now on I have to sleep on the ground! It's also been raining here, which is just lovely (sarcasm). Also! My bag broke!

I know it's been a while since my last blog, but now that I am getting settled in lovely Queenstown, I'll just update it once a week or so :) So you already know I got a job! It's at a cafe called 'Bob's Weigh' and is a small shop with orange & yellow walls & five staff (that's including me). I've been hired as a casual, to fill in for the days others have off and when it gets busier, which will be happening in the next week or two! Everyone else is full...

It was finally time to go out and hand around resumes. We had been in Queenstown for 5 days and were running out of money fast. It's a bad season for jobs, as winter usually drives people away, but when the ski fields open in a few weeks, it usually gets a bit better. We weren't too hopeful for a job, as it was quiet, but thought it would be good to beat the flock of backpackers and get in first. We split up so it didn't look bad, both of us going into places to ...
