DAY 33
Leaving Chitimba Beach behind us we began our journey to Kande Beach. While stocking up on supplies we stopped at a well known street corner that sells 'fancy dress' clothing which basically means hideous, strange and very very unique items of clothing. We had a 2000kwacha budget ($2) for our victims (we picked names out of a hat). My victim, Steve (one of the South Africans) would be wearing a sparkly animal print one-piece with a fabulous tail. hehehe. Our drive took longer due to many trucks getting stuck in the mud on the roads. A quick change and stroll to the lake was essential on arrival. Fantastic. A fairly early night soon followed after a quick drink at the bar.
DAY 34
Today was incredible. Our walk through the local village involved learning about how the locals get clean water by using a water pump all while being surrounded by beautiful children from the school and clinic we visited. Dripping with sweat...well practically melting. This was soon sorted by a swim in the lake, well crawl, it's very shallow for many meters. Fruit punch time. Our potent concoction with a hint of fruit juice. Terrible dance moves in our terrible outfits soon followed. Gosh, we had an absolute blast. Sav looked like a gypsy and I looked like a wannabe Desperate Housewife haha. But the best outfit by far was James's (he is very tall and slim) he had a mini leopard print two piece, the top barely fitting, who am i kidding it was like a bandana.
DAY 35
Waking up slightly earlier than the rest, Sav and I cleaned our tent- which was incredibly sandy. Today we cross the border into Zambia. This is day 1 of 3 really long driving days. The border went smoothly and we spent most of the day just sleeping on the truck. We arrived at Mama Rula's campsite just in time for dinner and an early night.
