Day 7 - Saturday, 18 November, 2006
Today has been a really tough day. The reality of being back in the ashram and what lies ahead of me terrifies the living day lights out of me. It's been a tough day for everyone and I think our combined energy is really not helping ...
Up to date
Hey guys Sorry I've been out of contact for a while now, it turns out that traveling and doing all the work yourself takes up considerably more time and effort than when it's all being done for you! We've come a long way in a week and a half and ...
Livingstone/ Vic Falls
... , our tour changed and we went to Zambia instead. So from the houseboats we had a 6 hour drive down to Livingstone in Zambia. When we arrived we were shown a video of all the activities that could be done in Vic Falls. I went from the ...
Zambian Days

Arrived Zambia
... food markets, but for obvious reasons we europeans need to be careful what we buy there. The weather is beaut in Zambia. Really warm, but a jumper and socks are required some evenings. I went through a company called Real Gap, ...
Day 2 - Monday, 13 November, 2006
Today has been an absolute killer. I really didn't want to get out of bed when the bell rang at 5:20 am. When I did, every single muscle in my body ached like hell. I didn't know how I was going to get through the day, but somehow I ...
To Conclude
... I hope to be able to share with them some of the experiences that yoga has been able to offer me in my life. I leave Zambia at the end of April headed back to Brighton where I plan to continue teaching yoga. Not sure what next adventure my ...
Vic Falls
We crossed the pontoon at Kazungula and entered Zambia, ending up at the Waterfront campsite in Livingstone. We only had a few hours but had an awesome time at the Falls, getting completely soaked even though we had on big ponchos. It was totally ...
Not Quite a White Christmas...
So I'm spending Christmas on a very muddy wet campsite near Livingstone ... it has been pissing all day ... but my chalet room is nice and dry ... I'm starting to get a name as the upgrade king ... since I've managed to secure an upgrade every step so ...
Day 21 - Saturday, 2 December, 2006
Today I woke up to find out that Bernie, the girl who sleeps next to me in the dorm, has pink eye in one eye. Her eye was all puffy and swollen and really sore. We all have to be extra cautious now in the dormitory with hygiene. I'm so ...

A Free Morning
I didn't schedule any activities for this morning, so have time to catch up here, do some laundry, etc. At 9 am, it's already very hot. The campground by the Okavango River is owned by someone with a great sense of humor. In addition to ...
WE still GO!
... on first, still not sure if he had the right away but we were on. We go! Back to The Waterfront at Livingston, Zambia. I was first here at the end of January in the full hight of the rainy season. When we pulled in this time ...
Farewell flpflops
Today was a long truck day, leaving camp early and having breakfast on the road as we headed for Lusaka - this is the capital where we were rewarded with a big shopping centre! I don't think we've ever been so excited to see a Spar shop before! Rikki ...
Fun stuff
So, now that our build is over we are allowed free time to do fun things! Yesterday we took a real African Jeep safari for three hours in the morning. It started at 6:45, but was so worth it. We saw Giraffe, white rhino (very rare to see), tons of ...
What Falls
Irony is the only word I can think of.. when in the Okavango Delta there was too much water around thus the animals were dispersed.. arrive at the Falls and the water levels were down and the falls were not at their best.. never mind Africa is all about ...
Nice Place in the Middle of Somewhere
Heading to Lusaka now and the road is being replaced (thanks very much to the Chinese Government) thus numerous detours which made a long trip even longer.. we came across a place called Moorings Camp and it is great in the middle of nowhere green grass ...
Day 5 - Thursday, 16 November, 2006
One week nearly over and tomorrow is freedom! I can't believe I've paid for this torture! This is definitely Yoga Bootcamp. As I sit here writing I'm listening to my iPod and some much needed salsa music. I've just been scheming ...
Lusaka - Kawambawa
... road most of the way. The country is fairly sparsely populated. After all, there are only around 10 million in all of Zambia and more than 1 million of the live in the capital. We made good time, reaching Kawambwa at around 1530hrs. Our accommodation ...
In Zambia
Hello Everyone, We crossed the boarder this morning into Zambia and are now in Livingstone at Victoria Falls. Since Maun, we drove to a cool campsite in northern Bostwana and camped under some old baobab trees. We have lots of pictures for coach. ...

The falls
Hey guys, only time for a short entry... we left Malawi three days ago, and are now in Zambia. So after two days of basically just driving, we finally arrived at Livingstone, near Victoria Falls, which are pretty cool. It's like, the ...
Life in the African Bush
... talking with the Macha Hospital nursing students and have learned much from them about the common health problems in Zambia. Students have had interesting clinical opportunities on the male and female wards and outpatient clinics. Today, one ...
Finally in Kitwe!!!!!!
Hey there! I can't believe I'm finally here! In some ways it feels like I'm never going to get used to life here, and in someways feels like I've been here for 1 month instead of 1 week! I spent a day in London and saw all the sights...it was great ...
living on the edge...literally!!
... much doing as he's told, poor old bugger. Tonight were having sundowners on top of the mountain looking down over lake malawi and zambia! Hopefully a few drinks will help calm the groups nerves, or at least ours! So cheers for now, only 3 days left of ...
Err is that a hippo?!!
... day's worth of lessons (8-12.30) including fractions, the difference between 'take' and 'fetch', the digestive system and england-vs-zambia. The children are lovely and keen to get my attention and show me what they can do. They tend to look after their ...
High flyer and near death experience!
... trip over Vic Falls. Crossed the famous bridge and managed to get a quick glimpse of the falls on the short trip to Zambia. Without a doubt her best experience, Michelle found herself free and exposed as she flew over the falls. It was the closest ...
Walk on the wild side
Day THREE is Animal Day. I have just returned from an early morning 3 hour Walking Safari in the neighbouring 66 sq mile Mosi-O-Tunya National Park. It was chilly as we left at 7.15 am for the short drive. Seeing the animals at ground level and being ...
Still Chillin'
After trying to go jet-boating all week and having each trip cancelled because there weren't enough people, I'm giving up. It's annoying because they won't tell you if the trip is going or not until the last minute, so you have to wait around until ...
On the hunt for a Zambian leopard
We had read rumours circulating on various websites and travel blogs that Zambia possessed some bizarre political and economic link up with Ireland, which would apparently entitle all Irish Citizens to a free Zambian visa. We were a bit sceptical because ...
