The guard explained to me how crazy the Zambian's are and how he will shambock them when he catches them stealing , real nice fellow who just smiled all the time, quite a character. Staying on the grounds of the Protea Hotel , a real nice find and they have a fabulous swimming pool you can use.
I left soon after the call girl left the hotel when I was with the guard and he saw her and was astounded how somebody could sell their body, he really was disgusted.
Anyhow I headed over to Caprivi River Lodge where I had stayed six Christmases ago and thought I would stop in for a visit. Had an amazing breakfast on the deck overlooking the Zambezi. I saw Keith and Mary and had good chat and then headed out feeling like a bloated Hippo for the short ride to the border. Crossed into Bots, quick and easy and with no costs at all. Arrived in Kasane around noon and went to Thebe Lodge where they have a nice camp spot on grass and shelter by the river for R125.
Did the river cruise for three hours and still never saw any ellies. Was most enjoyable and seeing plenty of wildlife as opposed to yesterday made me real dehydrated, so got me a little of Windhoek Lager and went and chugged it at camp. Then visited Nando's and was dik gevriet again. I haven't cooked once yet which is not good as this little trip is a dry run for my big trip next year and trying to work out all the bugs, but he not cooked once yet which as not the plan. After riding all day dehydrated the last thing you felt like doing is cooking but really need to focus on that for next years trip.
9th December 2018 Day 14 Victoria Falls
Got a mini van over to the Falls , crossing the borders were quick and easy and never had to pay anything. Was raining as we arrived and I did the walk, the weather sucked but then it stopped raining for awhile and I walked up to the Victotia Falls Hotel and had lunch and a beer, was great to be back at this iconic hotel.
On the way back we were real lucky as we saw one elephant, three painted dogs just lying alongside the road and then a herd of Cape Buffalo.
Went through the borders again and back to camp where it was raining cats and dogs and I did not put my fly over the tent and everything inside was soaked, what a bonehead. Am hoping it dries out enough to use or it's going to be a looong night. Wi Fi is wishy washy so posting stuff does not always happen but hasn't been to bad.
