Lusaka Roaming

14th March 2026
Late Breakfast outside-at 8.00am surrounded by watchful monkeys. Once we had moved away they zoomed in and licked the plates. A giraffe and zebras were spotted at perimeter fence. I went for a solo walk up a dirt track hoping to spot them again but they had moved on. Then I went for a walk to main road and nearby chemist. Lemeck was in charge of camp gate and as I foolishly had no water or hat let me sit in the shade of his hut. He hopes to get a driving licence so can get a better job, money is a problem. Good chat. Back at camp I joined Gail and Suzanne who were leaving for Sandy's, walking back down the same road I had just been on. Sweltering. Sandy's is very posh hotel/restaurant some of the cyclists had upgraded to stay there. Lovely lunch. Tummy is still not 100% but ok, other aches and pains are ok too. We leave for Lake Kariba tomorrow and a 24 hour ferry journey.
