Lawrence, Molly and Raj travelled to the largest manmade dam in the world when it was made in 1960- others have since eclipsed it but who cares? We stayed in Herman the German's lodge
Where they had some lovely sunsets and such high waters that you could never be sure a croc was not lurking right by your chalet door....
We gatecrashed the 50th anniversary bash for the creation of the dam- these ex pats celebrate like it's 1955... along with various Chiefs and deputy ministers who made speeches dotted with enthusiastic yells of Hail Jehovah!
Then Lawrence decided things on the blog needed some artistic expertise- starting with doctoring the photos of fireworks from above party- these were let off about 3 feet from where we were eating on the night, so the idea of fireworks exploding all over moll's face is not actually so surreal...
This one is dedicated to Miss Anna Brech...
'Sleepy Hollow' eat your heart out- Southern Province where we were is Baobab tree land
We went to a crocodile farm where even one this size can eat your arm off- such skill!
But Lawrence felt manly enough to brave out the croc infested cafe down the road...do you think he looks a tad uncomfortable..?
Peering over the dam wall- 80 ft drop with 3 massive dam gates gushing water from a mighty river...
Like this...
and this
On the way home we bought matching dog baskets to appease the abandoned dogs. This is a rare shot of Gwapo when he is not attempting to mount the neighbour's dog.
Winter is about to set in here in Zambia- freezing cold nights but clear blue skies during the day. So enjoy summertime back in UK, folks!
