An easy ride up the T2 mostly tar all the way except for the pot craters and broken down trucks in the road. Then W on D53 on a nice dirt road for about 50 KM to the hot springs. Very few cars on the road but endless amount of fuel trucks from Tanzania and the roads are not good so they will swerve for a pothole and not worry about you, biggest vehicle is in charge.
The road goes around this truck on both sides, the driver is in it to safeguard the goods for weeks now.
The camp has a natural hot springs which was rather nice to soak in while having a massive thunderstorm. Had an enjoyable meal with some Aussies, Austrians and a few Germans.
DAY 21. SHIWA HOUSE 10 November 22
Drove 20km to tour Shiwa House which was built in the 1800's by Sir Stewart Gore - Browne who was quite a remarkable chap and was heavily involved in Zambian politics and was given a state funeral.
