Our travel today is to Lusaka via “Public Luxury Coach”. The coach is in comparable to our coaches, except it has opening windows, no air con, and the seating arrangements are two across, the aisle and then three. The bus is scheduled to leave somewhere between 9 and 10am, depending on when it fills up. As you can imagine, after we have been in the bus awhile everyone starts to close their windows and it warms up and becomes very stuffy. At every stop there are many street vendors trying to sell us food, drinks, cd’s DVDs and other “interesting goods”.
We are joined on the bus by Jolene, the Canadian youth exchange student, who is also on route to Lusaka and then on to Livingstone. As we drive to Lusaka we see (incredibly) some hay bales (interesting for Greg) and arrive at one of the maddest bus stations I have ever seen. We are then driven to our hosts, and enjoy an evening home with our hosts. (Fran, Ryan and I are all hosts by Arnie and Emily and so stay up to watch Man U beat Chelsea in the Champions League match)
