We are now in Lusaka, Zambia. We arrived quite late last night after taking two flights and went straight out to “The Lusaka Club” for pepper steak. How much more BRILLIANT can my blog friends have been guiding us to the perfect venues. THANKS to Janelle and Tanvir for their recommendation for the best food in town – it was simply divine.
So. It’s Tuesday morning (I think, bit disorientated). We are now going off on a tour around town so that my father can take endless pictures of hotels that are now in the place where he used to live. I hope there are still some places that still look the same for him. Fifty years is a long time to have been away…
..and I need to find some flowers because we’re going the cemetery where my grandfather is buried and we’ve got a little bit of my grandmother left to sprinkle on his grave so that they can be together again after all these years, mixed in that African soil.
Will update later today hopefully – M can you send big love to Ma and tell her I’m looking after him x
