5 July (Day 6)

05 Jul

Well today was supposed to have been a “rest” day, however, it was only a rest from riding a bike but far from restful in every other sense.

We decided it would be a good idea to tackle the Zambezi white water rafting at 7am and whilst it was an absolute blast the water was cold and the rapids were pretty hard work that produced a much needed exercise session.

The highlight of the morning was when our raft flipped and we went trundling down rapid 24 sans boat!! Awesome!!

The Royal Livingstone Hotel is all that it is cut out to be and we have had an amazing time here.

Rowan headed back to Johannesburg today and Hilton heads back to Cape Town tomorrow so it will be Dale and I continuing alone for the remainder of the journey.

We head for Lusaka tomorrow, approximately 450km from our current location. The new page that has been added to this site..”where are we now?” really is an amazing application as it enables viewers to see our location in real time and to chart our progress automatically.

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.
