Zam Kayaking, 2day venture, Booze cruise, I love Africa:)











Time hear continues to fly with epic adventures. On Thursday we kayaked 1-25 and then caried on down the river till we got to a nice sandy beach where we settled, making it our campsite. The boys built a fire well we relaxed under the hot sun. We were treated to BBQ chicken and sausages and some salad and potatoe, delicious. Then slept under the stars by the fire. It was such a beautiful night, the sky was glowing with lots of stars! The next day we woke with the sun. Packed our gears and carried on down the Zambezi river. We faced a fun new section of whitewater called the 'Narrows'. The wideness of the river shrunk to about 10metres and we were treated to some really fun sections which included whirlpools and some little drops. We were tapping our kayaks the whole way down to warn the crocodiles of our approach. The dudes in the raft said they saw a few crocs quite close to us but I was unaware of their existance. We finished the trip with a swim in the cool waters of the river. I will try get some pics of this trip up when I can.
Last night we went on a 'booze cruise'. Basically we cruised around the river at sunset on a boat with unlimited alcohol! It was awesome and everyone got pretty smashed. We saw some hippos which were cool:).
Today I am catching up on stuff and trying to organise for NZ summer, attempting to have a productive day. It has been a very busy last week with kayaking everyday and not much time for other things.
