Another 6am departure, but I slept really well and was looking forward to reaching Livingstone. Another transit morning in the truck so we could get to our campsite asap. We arrived at The Waterfront at 2.30pm and then it was all go. We had a welcome talk in the auditorium from a GAP representative that is based at the campsite, where they explained the campsite and all the activities that were available to do while in Livingstone. We watched a DVD of all th...

As far as I can remember today was a long transit day through to the town of Chipata. Where Chipata would be a stopover night on the way to the tourist capital of Zambia - Livingstone!!!! The day seemed to go quickly with plenty villages and animals to see on the way. We stopped for supplies before reaching the campsite where we stocked up on some alcohol. My legs were a complete mess with mosquito bites, they were all blistering and they were so itchy when i ...

Well I had already written my blog for today and tomorrow but when I was in Livingstone my blog crashed therefore I lost these two days :( So hopefully I'll remember something's! We had the morning to either chill at the swimming pool or go into Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi. Geoff, Nicole, Sam and I got taxis and went into the city as I needed to get American Dollars for my visas for Zambia and Zimbabwe. I thought this would be an easy task and according t...

What better way to start a Monday morning than a swim in Lake Malawi at 6am!!! Bliss :) Phoebe, Nicole, Randa, Stephan and I jumped the waves and swam for a good hour! I really was thinking of all you guys starting work in a few hours honestly :) We had a late breakfast at 8.30am and then hit the road again, heading to the capital of Malawi Lilongwe! I don't think I've mentioned the roads in Africa...! The truck journey is worse than what I imagine it would be ...

Another hangover free morning in Africa :) I really should have been suffering though considering how strong the punch turned out to be. As I was already up, I went on a village tour with Randa, Una, Yan and Sam that started at 8.30am well ish after they waited for me to get ready. I'm really glad I went, as it was still informative even though I spent 4 weeks in a similar environment in Kenya. It was a walking tour though and the heat was the same as yester...
