Day 5: 31 January 2013

“You may give without loving, but you can’t love without giving.” RBC

31012013237 Wow it is something to wake up next to the Zambezi River. had our usual usual coffee and headed to fill up with fuel. R 1700 and full with 220l of diesel we head off to cross the border into Zambia.

31012013238 The road between the border and Livingston has really deteriorated in the last three months but we managed to negotiate it without any breakages! Really starting to feel tired today!! It has been 4 hard days of driving. So looking forward to a morning break in Lusaka tom before heading off to Kabwe.

31012013240 Stopped in Livingston to draw some money and get some ice for our cooler. Still trying to get my head around the new money that was introduced in January. At the moment Zambia is on a dual currency system and so you are working with the old and the new at the same time. Have not seen a new coin yet.

31012013241 The rest of the day was pretty uneventful except for seeing two truck accidents in the Munali Hills pass. Boy has this pass buried many a truck and its driver! We hit our first real rainstorm so that gave the vehicle a good wash.

31012013243 Coming into Lusaka is always so slow!! We quickly set up camp and thanks to Franci had some awesome curry and rice. looking forward to a good nights rest and a later morning as we only have to head into Lusaka at about 9am to run some errands.

Thank you Lord for safe travels today”

3400Km down and 5600Km to go.
