Up the Limpopo without a paddle

We are safe back from Zambia. 500 miles a day for the first two days, then another long day back from the Botswana border. We were stuck on the Limpopo in no man's land between the Botswana and South African borders, but no real problem. I had to weld the trailer up again, but that's what the mender man does - mend things.

A couple of pictures of the Zambian celebrations for you - including a very cheesy one of me!

Zambia is...

a long way from White River, but can't tell you how far as the odometer packed up. It must be more than 100k as it took us 3 days to get here. Travelled through Botswana, mended trailer when bits fell off, showered under stars, avoided donkeys and goats on the road, got stopped by police, saw 9 elephant, (8 more than the times we got stopped by police) slept in tents, queued for ferry across the Zambezi, had crocodile for tea, saw Victoria falls, put up mozzie nets.

I am here until 20 April (ish) but should be back for Aussie Steve and Bousie's wedding.

Will update as best I can.

Pray for the celebration and the safe arrival and return of all the people coming over.

I'll have a Z for... Zambia please Bob

We had a good celebration at Hands. Now I am off to Zambia for another celebration. It took me all week to get right spares for combie, but we left at 4am on Saturday, to drive through Botswana to catch ferry across the Zambezi into Zambia. Went passed Victoria Falls today, saw 9 elephants and got stopped by the police once. Had crocodile for tea, sleeping in tent and 11 hour drive tomorrow.

Pictures are on the celebration in Hands in SA website.

Keep praying!

Pictures to follow!

My God is an Awsome God

I told you about the lion eating the dead elephant. You saw it here first (unless you saw it on facebook)!

This week has been well busy with good conference to celebrate our God with 100-150 people attending. Marquee, dodgy electrics then big thunderstorm. I had to wear shoes to avoid electric shocks. Our God is an awesome God. Marquee flooded, 20 power cuts and generators plugged in. The power!

I might be off to Zambia next week for the next conference...

This weekend we went for Aussie Steve's stag do. He marries Boosie (as in my mum's Boosie bag - hand made in Africa). Combie broke down with broken CV joint 15 mins from home. I'll fix it. Were're going to Zambia in in next week!
