Before we leave the lady at the Bushbuck River House gives us great advice about taking a Chobe River Cruise when we get to our next stop. She recommends going out around mid-day to have a chance of seeing the elephants in the water. Boy was she right-stay tuned!
We depart Zambia, head back across the ferry, before we get there I make Greg do a few U Turns so I can take photos of this school that we pass. I didn't get one of the sign, and I can't even find it on google maps, but look at this "open air" classroom...
The other building on campus!
Seeing a school like that really puts all the conversations I had back in the Wakefield Schools into perspective...we used to worry about wifi in classrooms, and how the old middle school was in such rough shape that it needed to be torn down!
Just a random shot of what it looks like at the ferry border post, everyone standing in line, for quite awhile, all on "Africa Time" where things just take as long as they take...impatient Americans can just take a number!
Charlie in the top bunk...one of his favorite spots in the camper...
Our lucky campsite the first night near Kasane, this place was amazing and we got the last spot (after exhausting all the other places!) We used our time wisely though and have booked our river cruise for 11 tomorrow, all excited for it! Greg and Charlie working the coals!
A beautiful sunset at the Big 5 Safari Lodge, best campsites, we have power hookup for the first time on our trip, what a treat! The guy who owns the place went to Charlies' school way back and he tells us some funny stories about his time there, he especially remembers that if you used bad words they would wash your mouth out with soap & mouthwash in front of the entire school!
Charlie's other favorite spot, next to Mom for a bedtime story!
