Back on the roads

Back in the rhythm again. Got up, packed tent, breakfast, left at 8 to go north into Zambia.  Just before breakfast was finished we got a visit from the elephants on the other side of the fence.
Quickly realising that we are now heading into the "real Africa". Things are starting to look at little more uncivilised. Most annoying feature - speed bumps. In order to keep things a bit organised and to prevent everybody from speeding the Zambians have adopted speedbumps 100%. Every now and then - be it in small towns, at rail crossings or just whenever somebody felt like it - there was speedbumps. Typically 6-9 of them across the entire road so you would also have the pleasure of them on the other side of whatever you passed by.
Apart from speedbumps we now passed through a lot of small villages, huts alongside the road and a lot of more or less open space "savana style". We arrived at the camp just outside the capital Lusaka in the afternoon. Since there was some game close to the camp we took a walk before the dinner but we ran into some buffalos just at the entrance and didn't feel like getting too close to them.
By the way: Haven't seen a single cloud for 2 weeks now. Only blue sky and sunshine.
