11 May 30/47
An 8.15am flight to Ndola meant leaving the Executive Lodges at 6.45am. Not a mean feat when we had got to bed after 1am following the night before. To top it off, Greg had a swollen ankle following a dancing incident the night before. George, form Lusaka who was looking after us while we were there did a spectacular job looking after us and getting us to the airport for the 45 minute flight. After a delay, we finally arrive at Ndola at about 10am. We are collected at the airport, (with Greg off in a chauffer driven merc (the mayor’s – his host)) to the Golf course. Yes we got to play golf. However we before we teed off, we had two media interviews – for a newspaper and a local radio station. Great game, and a first for Fran. (She has some real golf talent for a first timer).
We then had lunch with a local Rotarian, and had fresh pasta along with the chance to watch the Grad Prix on TV. At about five, after some Sallowship (a term used for fellowship with some drinks at at lot of clubs here we then headed off to our hosts. Greg and Ryan visited a village and Fran, Jodie and I enjoyed a fantastic Indian dinner.
