We all left each other, the others flew out at 5 am and I left at 7:30 and froze at 9 deg.C. Headed N to Grootfonteinand then easterly to Rundu which was a 700km trip.
Rundu to Katima Malilo was 615km ,all asphalt roads. Rested in Katima for a day at a real nice camp on the Zambezi. Met a great couple from Germany who are volunteering at an orphanage in Malawi for the last three years, had me over for breakfast and they were on a 650 and a Trans Alp and will be visiting them on the way down?
Crossed into Zambia, had some Kawacha from the last time I was here, but only to fid out it is worthless cause they have changed the numbers on the notes. ATM was out of order so had to buy some from the local human bank. The road to Livingston was potholed worse than Noriega's face and then with all the goats and cattle and cows it was 3 hours for 160km.
I pulled it Shop rite for some chow and there sat the famous Faan Fourie who I was planning to stay at which I did. His camp is on rapid 14 overlooking the river, a fantastic spot. Yakked with him and then shot down to the Falls, stripped down and changed in the parking lot and went down to the falls. Was so much spray you could not see a thing , then went to the Victoria Falls Hotel, just to see how the rich folks live, then went back to Faan's camp and had my dehydrated spaghetti bolonaise for dinner, was lovely.
Left early for Lusaka, rode with a heavy heart cause my brother is going in for a big op today, which I just heard about, so hope it all went well, need to try and get hold of someone and find out.
Was 50km and some crazy drivers on the road and off, arrived at the camp only to find a dead Zebra at the gate , was kicked to death by the female, cause he was being frisky.
