Kalomo – Choma
41 Miles
Erik:
Uneventful ride. The scenery is very
beautiful. It is green and hilly. Very much a jungle. The bush is
thick and wet and the weather is either chilly and rainy or bloody
hot and humid. Luckily, we have caught the in-between phases to cycle
through.
We came into Choma around noon and
started looking for lodges. Our third inquiry (Racheal's Lodge)
turned out to be a gem. Cheap, very well kept, it has great food and
a great staff. We basically checked in and slept. I am feeling worse
than I thought.
Steph:
The weather was so nice today. We have
been prety lucky in catching the good stuff. This morning it was
sprinkling a little but proceeded to be overcast and cool for the
whole ride. A few miles out of Kalomo a blue van pulled over in front
of us. It ended up being two guys that we met the night before at the
Guest house. They had tried to teach us some Tonga. It's a really
cool sounding language but I had to get them to write it down because
it's pretty much impossible to remember.
Hello - KABWOMBA
Welcome – MWABONWA
How are you? - MWA BUKA BUTI
Fine – KABOTU
Thank You - TWALUMBA
Anyway, they stopped to wish us a safe
journey. Very nice.
We're waiting for our dinner that we
ordered earlier, for a very reasonable price.
I am starving. I'm always hungry
nowadays. Always. I finish a meal and automatically start a
count-down to the next meal. It's a little ridiculous.
