Zambian weird thing No. 1 - The Ant Hills

These ant hills are all over the country side, well the parts I have seen so far anyways. The one in the picture is one of the "small" ones. Apparently the ants that built them are long gone and the ant hill are supposedly prehistoric (whatever that means). I'm just glad i dont have to meet the things that built these mosters!

The Veggie Garden

As you can see, it needs a little bit of work

The Zambian "Audi"

So far so good

Well I have survived the first two weeks and it has not been a chore at all. There is a great little expat community in the Lumwana town and they are a very social bunch. So far I have been to 2 dinner parties, 1 BBQ, 2 welcome parties and 2 Friday night TGIF drinks. As I said, very social!

I have moved into my duplex apartment and have been settling in well. Things are looking a bit sparse until all my stuff arrives from Australia, god knows how long that will take.

I have a great garden out the back of the duplex that has been let go so I have been having a great time getting stuck into that. I also have a gardener who will be doing most of the hard work. A nice little deck out the back with a BBQ as well, all setup for entertaining. The veggi garden is looking a little sad, but a bit of hard work (on the part of the gardener) will see it all back in order.

After 26 hours of travelling, welcome to Solwezi international airport!!! Another hour on a bus and I will have finally reached my destination.
