Our trip
back to Lusaka didn’t start off quite as planned; to be blunt it was slow and
painful. Ruth had a small radiator issue and so our 5-6 hour trip turned into a
9 hour one. Fortunately we had our
friends Brett and Claire with us for the ride who helped to keep our sense of
humour along the way. At one point we decided to give Ruth a break, stopping
just outside of Mazabuka for a quick drink!
Back in
Lusaka the trip preparations continued, with more work on Ruth and just general
running round.
I haven’t
given a good view of Lusaka yet, so thought I’d show some pictures below of
some of the restaurants and shopping areas, roads, etc. I thought it might be interesting for people who haven't been to an African capital before and are expecting something different (although also keep those images because they also fit in other areas of Lusaka).

The dirtier side of Lusaka: Our apartment blocks waste disposal method. This rubbish is burnt every few weeks, no recycling, no council pick up! Lovely, isn't it?! |
