June 27 – Back to Lusaka

Breakfast at 8:00, on the bus at 9:30. Leaving the property we were graced with a giraffe walking across the road in front of us. Also spotted 3 more in the bush. The trip was the reverse of the journey we did on Tuesday. We did note that Friday must be market day as each village we passed was crowded with cars and trucks and people selling their wares – clothes, furniture, fruits and veggies.

We arrived for our rest room stop at 2:00 and were all back on the bus by 2:30. Waterberry had packed us sandwiches and bananas for us to have on the bus. We made it back to Lusaka around 5:00, just in time for rush hour with start and stop traffic. The high point of the trip was passing the local zoo where we were able to see the zebras. That got a cheer from the bus.

Arrived at HOM around 6:30, making the return trip 9 hours. The girls had our dinner waiting for us – quiche and garlic toast. Early to bed for most of the group.
