ok.. since i last wrote, we were meant to be going on a horse ride! yes.. we went on a loong ride, and then we had to go bare back into lake malawi! the horses did not appreciate this, neither did our bums! it was a cool experience, but we regreted it in the morning when we had to leave for a 2 day drive to zambia! several of us looked like we were walking around with wet nappys on! we arrived in chipata late that day, camped and had a group quiz! early bed and early rise again fro a full day drive. we stopped off in lusaka, the capital city of zambia for a bite to eat and then to eureak campsite for the 2nd night. didnt do much here, except have a big meal and sleep! the next day we arrived in livingstone, around lunch time. We all went to this big hut which doubles as a dance floor in the evening. We watched a short video consisting of clip sof what activities there are to do here-which are endless if u\you can afford them! A few opf us ( claire, myself, emily, siena, amelia suzanna and our tour guide dzingi decided to go on a booz cruise that would start in the next hour!! we all rushed to get ready, paid our $40, and started drinking as soon as we got on-we had to make th emost of the free bar we had for 2 hours. We got to playing some drinking games, had a bit of food, saw some crocs, hippo and elephant walking acros the zambezi river. We gradually got quite merry and met some irish who joined in with the games. Time flew by and we saw the sun set.. hopped off and joined the more sober bunch who had just started their dinner. As we were ready to continue with drinking we headed for the dance floor, got an ipod going and continued orderiung some dodgy lookin spirits! Soon after the first round and a few spins on the dance floor, I unfortunately slipped and landed on my camera-its still working, but i cant see a picture :( . lesson learnt the hard way! the night continued and everyone else joined in the fun, then came a point where we had to put our tents ap as we hadnt got round to that before-it was dark and we were pissed.., and claire was somewhere else-probably the bar! so manged somehow to put it up alone! After, rejoined the group for a bit more dancing and that was the end of the night!. next morning we have a full english hangover breakfast ready and waiting.. then we set off for the Vicoria Falls! we get our kags on, and almost immediately get drenched by the spray falling from above us. The Falls is definately a place worth visiting- the views are so amazing and there are so many rainbows it doesnt seem real! we gopt to the end of the walk and sat by the cliff edge to dry off. after this we headed back for showers and a night in a livingstone town for dinner.
Today most of the group are white water rafting-me and claire and a couple others are a bit chicken and opt for a day of nothing! tomorrow though, we have booked an encounter with the lions on the zimbabwe side, this includes a tour of the rehabilitation centre and meet and greet with the 6month old cubs! cant wait! after this, we have booked an encounter with elephant-this include a safari on the back of one, and then feeding time!
We plan on having a big night before we leave as our truck is splitting and joining other groups for the last week of africa! me and claire, heather, jon jo and isobella are are headed for johannesburg, and leaving here on the 24th i think!
Thats about it-no pics again as the internet is soooo slow!
