Well at last a day away from Lumwana. With the recent arrival of the new car, i can escape so today i joined 3 fellow Lumwana residents ( Bill, John and Craig, see one of the photo)for a day of golf at Consanche Golf course which is in Solwezi about an hour away (see map at top of page). The course is gorgeous, as good as any course I have played on in Townsville anyway, and they have kept many of the local Zambian features, like the huge ant hills. They have a few Zebra on the course but i couldnt get close enough to take a photo (hopefully next week) and some Impala as well, although they were hiding today. But i did see evidence of there existence, see the photo of the "Impala Poop" which just looks like little chocolate covered raisens. I played very average golf but had a great day and i have been invited back next week, yee haa! At the end of the day, after walking an 18 hole course, something i have not done in a long time, i was absolutely nackered but thank god i had a caddie which is almost as good as having a buggy! As i was the designated driver of the day, no booze for me to numb the pain but the guys introduced me to the "Malowi Shandie", a strange mixture of bitters, orange juice and lemonade i think. Very nice and quenches the thirst very well.
Now an evening of red wine, a little bit of pizza to assist with the recovery!
