pretty pretty scenery
camping at nyika national park
the day before we left Chitimba i spent the entire day at Hare school taking photographs for the muti book. it was just a wonderful experience being with the kids the entire day. they have next to nothing. we played games all day and had a wonderful time. i had about 100 kids constantly around me. it was tyring i tell you but their smiles and happiness burnt into me with their brightness. the net day was an easy day out, we spent only 3 hours in the saddle. cruising around veeeeer....y slowly. its the best riding. doing 50km/h. stopping everywhere. the road followed the lake coastline . we then broke in land and headed for a national park. a very small one. we had about 70km of bad dirt roads. andwe got very lost at one point. ending up in high grass as the sun was setting. the park was very nice. we stayed on a lake and had hippos walking past us during the night. we awoke the next morning, still alive, and went for a walking safari. only thing we saw of the animals was their dung! so not a successful safari but lovely all the same.
