Today will be a long driving day.  Yesterday we were4 supposed to cover much more than the 125 km that we covered, so we need to make it up today.  We are ready to go by 7 AM and head off to Lusaka.  We then spend the whole day driving, just stopping to by some food and for lunch.

We approach the capital of Lusaka around 5 PM.  While we are driving in the suburbs, we have another accident.  We run into the back of a car that had stopped in front of us.  No real damage to the the truck, but the back of the car was a bit banged up.  Gilly jumped out and dealt with them.  It was amazing seeing how many locals came around and got involved.  In the end, Gilly headed off with the car to sort out insurance details and we headed off to the campsite, arriving there at 6 PM.

It is our turn to prepare dinner, so after setting up camp we get to work.  After serving dinner we take a shower and go to bed.
