4July (Day 5)

04 Jul

Left Namushaha Lodge just after 7.30am for a short 350km ride to Livingstone, Zambia.

The English created beuracracy, the Africans however perfected it. The Zambian border post at Katima Mulilo, whilst relatively painless contained no less than 4 different counters with countless fees payable for the priveledge of entering Zambia.

Zambia is however beautiful and the people are friendly and welcoming. We are spending the next 2 nights (yes, we have a day off from riding tomorrow) at the famous Royal Livingstone Hotel..I never said it would be hardship all the way!!

Tomorrow we get to sleep in, white water raft and for those brave (or stupid) enough, the bungi jump!

We have completed 3200km thus far of our 13,000km journey.

BackABuddy Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
