Yesterday we spent the day driving south for about 6hours to go from Lusaka to Livingstone. There’s no air conditioning in most vehicles out here because not many places know how to service them sadly. As long as the vehicle is moving it’s great! Rylan, Gerry and I drove with Brian all the way down and had a great time, though still not used to driving on the other side of the vehicle and road.

Apparently I’m also the only one who managed to burn a bit even though I put on SPF 60 a few times, think by the time 3 weeks is done I’ll be a few shade darker.
the amount of people randomly selling things on the side of the road is incredible, that’s all most people do out here to make some money. They sit all day every day approaching cars to buy goods. There are so many huts and shacks on the drive you wonder how they survive, or where their water comes from. You can see the potential for growth out here but the mind set isn’t there to push, because the jobs aren’t there to push towards.
We’ve learned a few things from driving out here. First always be vigilant of cows and goats that graze freely. There are no fences but I’m told they eventually find their way home. The other is they use there signals for everything. The highways speed is about 120kms/hr so there is constant passing, and no road lines. When you pass you signal, then the person in front will tell you if it’s clear by using either the left or right signal, just for safety. Once you pass you use your hazards to say thank you. I think we should adopt this Zambian system in Canada!
Well it’s Sunday and I better get going, time to experience my first African service!

An update from yesterday’s post, I never found my Malaria pills but God knew something would happen and is watching over me! Simeon and Angie had somehow brought 3 months worth of Malaria pills and had 30 pills extra. This is incredible and Thank you Lord for providing this!

God Bless!
