Zambia

We just touched on a small part of this country really.We stayed at quite a nice little campsite that overlooked the Zambezi.A few of us did a sunset cruise which was really nice. Not quite what we were expecting - we were expecting some sort of 5 star luxury cruise but instead got a boat full of the 18 year old drukens ( the ones we were trying to avoid) along with lots of cheap white wine and z-grade food!!But we had good company and it was gorgeous on the river.Great views of sunset and we saw our first hippos and elephants.So amazing to see these animals in the wild.

The next place we stayed at was literally in the middle of nowhere and it was the first time that I felt far away from real civilisation which is a strange feeling.The campsite was surrounded by animals and we saw our first giraffes, antelopes and zebras here.Stef obviously slept well (goes without saying) but I didn't sleep so well that night - think that was down to the combination of being in the middle of nowhere for the first night and good old Larium!!!

We drove through Zambia and onto Malawi.Along the way through most of Africa we went through small villages where the locals live in little thatched huts and the women go and get their family water and make food while the kids run around like adorable little munchkins. Most of the kids see the truck coming and run along side it waving, some of the kids literally get so excited you think they'll self combust.It was beyond cute!!!
