We have today been away from home for a week and are both talking about the fact that we are missing family already notwithstanding that we are having a great time.
We were up early today to deal with Dale’s puncture and to get onto the road as soon as possible. The route today was to get to Chipata, approximately 100km from the Malawian border where we will cross into tomorrow.
The ride was through some of the most beautiful African landscape we have ever seen with long winding mountain pass roads and wafts of a beautiful sweet scent of burning mabongwa wood that the local villages use for fire. These small rural Zambian towns have a particular charm and the people really are wonderful, curious and welcoming.
We are spending the tonight at Mamarulas bed and breakfast in Chipata which compared to last night is heavan. We have done 4,150 km’s since leaving Cape Town.
Saying goodbye to our hosts!
