We thought yesterday was a long day but today wins hands down!
After quickly packing our essentials in the morning, we jumped onto the bus to Livingstone. Two hours into the journey, it was becoming obvious that the bus was reluctant to go any further. We eventually made it to a town where we were told that the bus had an electrical fault and that a replacement was on its way from Lusaka and would take an hour to arrive. We've come to understand that an hour in Zambia is not the same length as an English hour. About 3 (English) hours later, our bus arrived and we continued our journey arriving at Fawlty Towers at 6.15pm. We had been on the bus for over 9 hours but spirits remained high.
Fawlty Towers is a world away from where we had been last week and everyone was really pleased and looked forward to the next few days.
To celebrate our arrival, we ordered take-away pizza and then took it in turns to beat Mr Shears at Pool.
Tomorrow we are leaving at 6am to head for the Safari and on to the Victoria Falls.
Welling School in Zambia 2011
On July 8th 2011, 10 Students and 4 Staff from Welling School will head for Zambia to coach some of the most underpriveleged children from government schools and orphanages, on how to play the game of Tag Rugby.
The Students have spent the last year raising money to fund the project themselves. Over £20,000 has been raised so far!
As well as coaching the children in Zambia they will also be training the School Staff and leave enough equipment and resources for the schools to continue playing and enjoying the game. Donations can be made using this 'justgiving' link :
