The LONG trip to africa

FINALLY we made it!!! i have never been more exhausted in my life! I of course didn't sleep on the plane ride to London because Jodi and I were surrounded by 3 screaming babies the entire way. London was fun but if I ever do this again I will be getting a Yotel and sleeping. We were falling asleep on the tube into london which isnt a good sign! The plane to Lusaka was a little better. I took more sleeping pills to make sure I actually slept and I would say I got a good 3 or 4 hours...on a 10 hour flight. One thing is for sure, plane food is awful.

so after we finally made it to the lusaka airport we were bused to the bus station. yes i know that sounds silly (which by the way that word is an insult here) The bus ride was very very interesting. getting off the first bus to get on the second bus was intimidating. there were all these people beating on it to get our attention so we would come on their bus. luckily for us we have a guy to protect us! we were a bit nervous. we tried going to the restroom before we got on the bus but you had to pay and then when we did we couldnt figure out how to use them. how can they be that complicated you ask? trust me, they can. so we left on our 7 hour bus ride. the ride itself wasnt that bad. i think i slept more on the bus than the plane rides put together. we stopped a couple times for us to go to the restroom and we took advantage of it once. definitely a crazy experience. then when we got off we were bombarded with people wanting us to take their cab into the falls. again we were glad to have a guy to handle all the talking.

finally we made it to zambezi sun. it is incredibly beautiful. we've already seen a baboon, zebras and giraffes. i'm pretty scared of those baboons. we've heard some pretty brutal stories! anyways we're so tired and finally clean so the only logical thing to do now is sleep! we have free internet here at the falls so i will try to update again!

miss everybody but loving being in africa <3
