Trip to Zambia

I realized that I haven’t written about my Zambia trip. I have already sent you some photos with the New Year greeting e-mail, but I will share some more with you.

Our travel itinerary was that we spend one night in Lusaka, and then move to Livingstone (where the Victoria Falls is situated.) We spend a few more nights in Lusaka on the way back.

We left Lilongwe very early in the morning when it was still dark. It took us more than 10 hours to get to Lusaka. When we were getting closer to Lusaka, we kept screaming with excitement. Civilization!! “Look at the three-story apartment building! Look at the decent looking mini-buses! They are all painted in a same color! Oh they have proper bus stops! Pedestrian bridges!!” The highlight was a shopping mall. They even have the Subway sandwich place!! In a large supermarket in the mall, I got overwhelmed by the number of selections. I guess I really got used to the “country life” in Lilongwe… Would I be able to adjust back to Canada once again? I wonder…

We spent a night in Lusaka, and the following day we left for Livingstone. We stayed in a nice lodge along the Zambezi River. We did a sunset boat cruise, all you can drink with a light meal. We enjoyed the scenery. Saw monkeys and hippos etc.

This is when my evil roommate talked me into doing the white water rafting in the Zambezi. I will tell you the story in person. I really thought I was going to die. Was as bad as my experience at the Great Wall in China.. I have DVD and photos and they are great!
