After 2 big drive days we arrived in joberg at the Ritz backpackers. Felt strange being in a first world country again, with proper houses and roads. Unfortunately our booking had been screwed up, so instead of getting a double bed we were stuck in a dor with snoring men. Had 3 days just chilling out and eating lots of good food (south africa has awesome food!). Then it was off to the airport to fly to Buenos Aires. Since we had to be at the airport at 4am the...

It was then goodbye to zambia and onto Botswana. Truck definatly felt empty without the rest of the group, but at the same time we had a few big drive days to come so it will be nice to spread out a bit. Got pulled over by some cops just before the boarder saying our insurance papers were wrong, basically trying to scam some money, which is funny because all around there are posters which advertise "say no to corruption".

Had 4 nights in Livingstone for some adrenline filled days. On the first day everyone bar 2 in the group did the white water rafting so we filled up 3 rafts, which was cool.

After a stop off in Lusaka to stock up on booze (our group cleaned out the cheap vodka and the supermarket), we headed out to Lake Kariba where we were having 3 nights on a houseboat. Mark & I were the lucky couple to be drawn out of the hat for the penthouse suite so were stoked about that. Lake Kariba is really nice it is a man made lake after they damed the Zambezi in the 70´s. We had lots of time to chill out in the sunshine reading books, playing card...

It was then goodbye to Malawi and onto Zambia. So stoked we weren´t one of the brits as they had to pay $150US for there visa, instead of the $50US we had to (think zambia is definatly milking the zim situation). Did another illegal money change at some guys house in Chipata (town across the boarder). Then it was probably the worst drive we´ve had to get to South Luangwa National Park, the road was extremely bumby and it was so hot bouncing along that road an...
