Had our lie-in and awoke to a hearty breakfast. We lubed up and I am pleased to report that now all of us are versed at the fine art of applying vaseling.
Today was our first cloudy day and we spend it cycling on sand. It was heavy going but the lack of pot holes made it easy. Hank fell off...I'm going to say that again, Hank fell off....
At one of the village watering stops, the village elder himself came out to greet us and insisted on showing us around his village, the grand finale being the church.
Part of our day saw us visiting another school to give out footballs. This school has in excess of 2,000 pupils all who insisted on putting on a various shows. Their singing is quite incredible. One class circled around us and sang their national anthem in local dialect. We were visibly moved, it was beautiful.
We handed over the footballs and had a quick game against their school team - all kitted out in red. SteveO showed them some of his amazing football tricks and then he had a kick about with the team. The school toilet walls have a sign saying 'Paper only in the toilets, no stones'.
We arrived at our allocated guest houses for tonight's stop. The showers give off a trickle of cold water so we are having to boil up saucepans to wash away today's sweat and grime. There are impala walking around the grounds.
Others have already headed off to the bar over the road for their pre-prandial. The clouds have lifted and the sky is awash with stars, it is quite breath taking.
Tomorrow is our last day's cycling and we head towards Livingstone. We aim to get their in time for lunch and have an afternoon's play at bungee jumping or just resting.
