Crossing into Zambia

Left Chobe to catch the ferry across the river early in the morning. Ferry is perhaps an exaggeration - barge with engine is perhaps a better description. The river is perhaps 400 m wide. First obstacle - getting an exit stamp in the passport in Botswana. That was done in a couple of minutes. Then it was just a matter of waiting - and luck. The last also the most important.
There was a loooong row of cars and trucks wating at the riverbank but for some unknown reason our truck was allowed to jump the queue and get to the front. Just one problem. A roadtrain trying to get on the ferry had broken down on the ferry ramp and a couple of guys ran around with a fire extinguisher looking a bit surprised. As always in Africa that also ment that some 15 other guys were standing close to the action just looking and commenting. After a while they got the truck on the ferry and it left.
Next small problem - 4 ferries were supposed to operate on the river but only 3 were visible, 1 of them seemed totally abandonned, and the last one on the other side of the river were sending some concerning smoke signals. So instead of going in our direction it was emptied of trucks and shut down the engine. Down to one ferry we waited for another ½ hour before it was our turn to cross. Got the entry stamp in the passport for Zambia, driver took care of paperwork for the truck and we left the ferry place at 9:30.
Got to the campsite and put up tents before lunch. Really nice place with pool, close to the river, bar - civilisation.  Had dinner in restaurant at real table - yes !
