Lusaka

I just rode 120.7 kilometers! Check it out on #strava: http://app.strava.com/activities/45102922
It was so awesome to be able to stay with Dawn and Clinton on their farm -Thank you so much for your generosity and hospitality in my time of need!
Another absolutely stunning day - good to get away early - only 120km so no pressure.When I arrived at Lusaka and saw a big tall building , the thought crossed my mind that this could be the capital so I asked one of the security guards and sure enough it is.2 strawberry milkshakes later and an Australian by the name of Brendan came and introduced himself to me - he is organising a charity bike ride thriugh th Lower Zambezi National Park and wanted some ideas etc si we organised to meet at the intercontinental hotel for drinks.I had a place to stay also - I met Derek Pollard at Jolly boys backpackers -he was away but had organised for me to stay at his apartment - Julia was living there also and was so cool in letting me stay .
Buying some food on the side of the road - plenty of competition everytime a new vehicle rolls up

A Hard Working and Busy man -Clinton a Dairy Farmer from Zambia and his Wife Dawn showed me such hospitality and generosity ! Thankyou so much guys!
