| The wonderful tar road between Livingstone and Lusaka |
The road stayed in a good condition north of Lusaka and it was only north of Serenje where we started to see the odd pothole, but nothing serious. Finally, north of Mpika, it all went pear-shaped! These aren't potholes - they're craters! Some stretch right across the road, forcing you to drive on the side, which is often just as dangerous. It was slow going for most of the afternoon, but I must admit - we had fun!

Fortunately we got through them all safely. We were supposed to visit friends Claire and Ed in North Luangwa, but unfortunately they were held up in Lusaka with aeroplane problems, so we decided to push on to Kapisha Hot Springs where we find ourselves tonight. We've only seen a little bit of it in daylight, but we liked it so much that we've decided to stay for two nights! Here's a quick preview of where JI and I will be spending an hour or two after (or maybe even during) supper:

Hi Villiers en J
Daai paaie pas goed in by ons in RSA. Bly jul kon fun daarvan maak - dit toon karakter! geniet die warm water. Ons braai uit van die hitte in Kaapstad. Voorspoed!
Aeroplane problems? Is your hilux a transformer?!
Well done for dodging all those slaggate!
Hope your natural jacuzzi is as good as it looks...
Hey julle moet pasop vir tropiese babers in daardie warm poele!! Die slaggate laat my dink aan al die slegte paaie rondom Standerton na die buurdorpe! Dit lyk nogal of dit julle laat tuisvoel. Geniet die rustigheid van die poele, lyk of dit kalmerend kan wees...
Hey! Bly jul het darem veilig gery deur daai big daddies :-) Njoy die hot springs baie - dit lyk heerlik! hoop jul rus lekker uit!
Hi Julle!!
Lekker Lekker hotsrpings!! daai kan altyd lekker saam werk!! veral na die lekker 4x4 op die paaie! :)
Daai slaggate is mos niks vir 'n Hilux nie!!
Geniet hom!
Hey! Ek loer bietjie op die kaart - waar is die hot springs? Lyk of alles te goed gaan...! Ek sien julle bly bietjie daar voordat julle die magtige Tunduma gaan aampak. Glo dit sal baie goed gaan en dan is dit die amazing landscape van Tanzania. Ek is moerse jaloers!! Hier is net rond hol en preke maak op die oomblik. Het nou die dag probeer luister na julle op Jakaranda maar het gemis. Hoop dit was lekker. Hoe gaan dit met die kos koop en maak. Julle is nou in Boerewors distrik daar. Anycase. Sal nou meer gereeld inloer. Wees veilig en enjoy.
