Goodbye to Zambia
Our five days in Zambia have been wonderful. Ruth has lost her voice. Too much talking? We spent 2 nights at Livingstone on the Zimbabwe border - 5 hour drive from Lusaka courtesy of Daf.. We have seen the Victoria Falls from 2 countries. It is the low season and the flow is low. We still thought it was an amazing sight. We got drenched from the spray.
Ruth, Daf and Zebina did a sunset cruise on the Zambezi. It was a lovely evening. We saw heaps of hippos in the river, plus crocs and elephants.Greg was in bed.We have met two doctors in Zambia. They both were excellent. The second time Greg was tested for malaria the test was still negative but he started treatment and is responding well.
Greg, Daf and I went on a game tour in the Mosi-o Tunya (Smoke that Thunders) National Park at 6.30am. Our guide was terrific and knew all the back roads so when we spotted animals he would drive around  to the best vantage point. We saw lots of elephants up close. Plus giraffe, zebra, impala, baboon, monkeys etc, etc.
Last night Greg missed dinner at Kaonga's friends home. Clement and Ruth are terrific people. Over the last few years they have supported 15 young people who needed help because of AIDS. They have adopted a niece who is the only remaining child out 5 in that family. Sad stories abound here. They have tremendous faith in God and a resilience that amazes.
We are back in Nairobi airport. It is a few hours before we fly to Bangkok. We have plans to meet up with the Cranks on our 11 hour layover.
Just 36 hours of adventure remains.
