After 12 hours sleep, I felt refreshed and the Friday commute was better than usual:
Cycling in on a push bike, there was almost too much to take in and and too many people to see. Again, I was lost but a group of women were all too happy to help and sent me in three directions - all of which were correct.
What Linknet, but most importantly the people, have done here is truly amazing. One local told me the internet was more important that food and I actually believe him now. When you're so remote, it's easy to get left behind - the internet has bought so much joy and entertainment to a place full of intelligent, enterprising and enthusiastic people. They should all come over to the UK and show us how to do it, how to make the most out of not much and how to live.
We spent a day trying to sort the problems out and got far but not far enough. Frustrated, I headed home and en-route grabbed some food - this evening I was pleased to meet some more people and ate another delicious meal.
Cycling home alone caused more problems this evening because of the power cut. Whilst there are no street lights, I'd oriented myself around the lights of the buildings but that wasn't working… I was quickly lost…More friendly faces helped me out and then I found fred just outside my accommodation. Another nice chat; he'd had a great day in Lusaka and then I found myself locked out of my house…
