Geeeeez it's been ages since I blogged last. Apologies, but the internet has been prehistoric in most of the places we've been to thro' Malawi/Zambia. Back in Lusaka now and we've hunted down a vaguely speedy internet cafe. Quick post now, but fear not, have been keeping a diary so lengthy updating can take place at some point. That point probably being when I'm back in the UK, but ah well.
So, our last few days in Zanz were pretty spectacular. Headed down on our last day to meet up with Jess, Flick, Heather, Ville, Maija and the Aussie boys for one last big night out. As promised, the boys cooked. We went with them to the market having dumped our stuff at Ville and Maija's (awesome flat in the heart of the city on a top floor - amazing views around Stone Town). Had a very fun hour or so haggling over ripe pineapples (!), fish (squid, octopus, tuna), and even managing to hunt down some basil, so the boys were pretty happy. Returned home to get ready and then headed over to the girls' with plenty of vodka in tow. Their flat was similarly cool - including bar and balcony... We christened the bar with plenty of cocktails and then sat down to supper. The boys cooked up a delicious storm, and Flick followed up with some tasty crumble. We then moved on to Ring of Fire. Box head being a new, and excellent addition to the process, and one that I intend to bring to Kids Week this year.... Headed out around midnight to find Stone Town's one and only nightclub, which was essentially 1 Dive 1 on tour. With worse music. Other than the Waka Waka song. Made it til 3am-ish, and then V and I headed home to face our super early start and ferry.....
& thus ends Zanz Pt 1. Overland tour leg to follow.....
