Day 7: 2 February 2013

“Trusting God’s faithfulness dispels our fearfulness.” RBC

02022013245 Wow! Can’t believe that we are in a new month already. Kind of felt I missed the first day with all the busyness of Lusaka.

Today's drive took us on the Great North Road. This is Zambia new “Hell” road. I think we counted 7 truck accidents and break downs. Only as a very last resort would I attempt to drive this road at night.

02022013246 We spent the large part of the day driving in some heavy rain. I guess this will test whether Christy’s Sports really did repair my roof top tent cover. Boy it pelted.

02022013247 Our stop tonight is a campsite called Mutonondo. It is a great place about 25Km of the main Great North road but well worth the effort. It is situated on a 10 000 hector conservancy so it is great to see Zambia’s nature without human nature intervention. Truly beautiful.

02022013249 I can’t believe that we have been on the road for 7 days now. When will it end? We had such an awesome evening sitting by the fire. So peaceful and tranquil. Well the roof top tent cover held out remarkably well so it is with great anticipation I will sleep in a dry bed tonight.

I had to climb up a hill to try and get cell reception just to let the family know that we are safe and to find out how they are doing. There are still places in this world where you struggle to communicate using modern technology. Not all bad though.

03022013251Thank You Lord for this beauty that surrounds us camping here tonight.”

4000Km driven and 5000Km to go!
