Hello! I have not blogged in a long time. As you know, I turned 12 last month,and I went on a trip to Livingstone( Victoria falls). It was so great, exciting, and an adventure( A LOT of that!) and over all, FUN! It was a three day trip, from July 2-4. I am dividing it into days, so I wont have to do one big blog!
ENJOY!
I woke up really early, got ready, and then we drove to the bus station. (Yes, we took a bus.) It was supposed to take about 6 hours, but I am not going to spoil my story by telling you why supposed is in italics! This was probably the most adventurous day ever, and you will soon see why.
First of all, we paid for a luxury bus, and we didn't get one. Not bad, but disappointing, because the Luxury bus was comfier, and had a bathroom. We sat in the bus for a while, and then the bus started! We were moving fast, and I was excited! For an hour and a half, me and mom talked, read, and I wrote thank you cards for my birthday. When we got to a hilly part of the road, the bus stopped abruptly. Mom said to the person across from us(who tried to give us a Jehovah's Witness magazine) " Uh-oh!"
I was kind of getting worried. Then, from the front of the bus, comes the driver. He said," I am very sorry. Our bus has broke down. We will have to wait for another bus to come from Lusaka to carry you the rest of the way."
Can you see why I put supposed in italics? Oh, but this is just the beginning!
So... we waited. And waited. And waited. And.... and 2 hours later, we caught sight of a blue bus coming up the hill! I wanted to scream!
And guess what? This time it was a Luxury bus! (So we didn't lose our money!)
So we got on that bus, and started driving. We talked, and read, with occasional stops. Oh, when out bus broke down, we stopped at Dallas Ranch(a farm in Zambia :()) which was ironic because we had people on our bus from Dallas, TX! HEHEHEHE! So we got to Kalomo, where our good friends the Murphy's live. Kalomo is 2 hours away from Livingstone, so we rarely see them. And they were also leaving for America shortly, so they came to the bus stop to say hi, and bye! And guess what! Our bus broke down! ( I was beginning to doubt if we would ever get to Livingstone!) But this time it turn out to be a blessing form God! We got half an hour to visit with them, instead of 5 minutes! And it was a good thing they came to the bus station, because they were the ones who fixed the bus! No, they are not mechanics. Simply the suppliers of super glue! WE FIXED OUR BUS WITH SUPER GLUE! YIKES!!!!!
I have to go! Toon in tomorrow(or some time later) to see if we ever get to Livingstone!
