Zonked in Zambia

After 4 days in Zambia we have seen :-

* Wild Dogs at South Luanga National Park
* Thornycroft Giraffe
* 4 Genets and some white tailed mongeese
* Some hippos feeding
* Been charged by Elephants
* Been menaced by an Elephant wanting the grass under the open topped
Land Rover we were sitting in. It won.
* Avoided the cobra hanging out by the toilets, and the leopard
hunting between bar and lodges at our campsite
* Drank much Mosi beer
* Ran out of Diesel on the way down (what are fuel guages for anyway???)
* Broken the rear bumper on a big rock
* Crashed through some low hanging branches
* Took some wrong turns

We have also camped out in a school room to avoid the torrential rain,
more today, and encountered the joys of the Zambian postal system
after blagging some free packing. Not to mention carrying a chair up
and down Cairo Street in Lusaka to the locals amusement...

Tomorrow or tonight my cast comes off if I have to gnaw the f***er off myself!!!

Tomorrow we head to Livingstone for Victoria Falls and much tourist
hassling excitement...

Ciao!
