Week 6: 6 - 11 November 2006: Zambia/Zimbabwe
We then crossed in Zambia and had our longest border crossing - 3 1/2 hours - the guy was the most easily distracted and slowest guy on the planet, after an hour he had done 6 out of 30 but hey we were on african time. We then just had a couple of long transit days through to Zimbabwe.
We reached Zimbabwe and saw the Kariba Hydro Dam which was pretty spectacular and then a few minutes in we saw 3 wild elephants - the start of many wild sightings throughout Zimbabwean towns.
We spent 2 nights on a house boat on Lake Kariba which was relaxing. We stayed one of those nights in a National Park and saw elephants, hippos and crocodiles right next to where our boat moored for the night. we also had another punch night and although it lasted long into the night the only thing lost overboard was the head of our mop - lost by our guide Liv no less.
The night we left the houseboats we stayed at a campground that had TV and Sky at the bar - also elephants the would pop in occasionally - so we got to see the All Blacks beat France which was a bonus.
