Day 278 – Zambia

July 10, 2010 – Lusaka to Chipata, Zambia

Well, winging the bus thing both works and doesn’t work for us.

It works in the sense that we get ourselves on a bus relatively hassle-free and as part of the ride they serve a snack.

And it doesn’t work for us because we spend an hour and a half waiting for the bus to leave and over the course of our 8 hour ride, the bus doesn’t really stop, which is hard on my back and needless to say, our bladders.

But overall, the ride is fine and we do make it to Chipata, so really there isn’t a reason to complain.

We grab a taxi and make our way over to “Dean’s Hill View Lodge”, which turns out to be a welcome haven of tranquility. Dean and his crew prepare us a nice dinner and we spend the evening relaxing and chatting.
