Day 5 - Zambia

I didn’t want to stay up really late again last night after our cruise, so I’m doing yesterday’s post now and I’ll do todays later tonight.

Yesterday morning we were up at around 6 so we could be at the airport about two hours before our 10.10 flight. We had a small-ish breakfast before taking everything down to the car and leaving. It’ only took us about 25 minutes to get to the Europcar rental drop-off at the airport.

We walked up and down the airport a couple of times before we found our check-in gate because we thought it would be at the international end, seeing as we were flying to a different country, but it was at the domestic end because it was a budget airline and didn’t have many flights.

Our flight ended up taking off 30 minutes late. We were in a small plane and it had nothing, not even a radio. We ended up landing only 5 minutes later than our original time, so that was good.

We were then driving here, to the Waterfront Lodge, where we are staying until Friday. We had lunch, finished organising the rest of the activities we are doing this week and then Jayne and I went for a swim.

At 4.30 we went for a cruise on the Zambezi River. On board was three other people from Scotland and Canada, and we all got along well. We saw hippos, crocs and an elephant, and we also watched the sunset.

Well we’re off to now Zimbabwe so i don't have time to add photos, so I'll do that later.
