Stuck in Lusaka

We had a full house over the past three days.  Kelly, Tricia and Lucas Huckaby have been staying with us for their first week in Zambia.  And we’ve had two other guests staying with us who are on their way towards Cairo.  Luke Anderson and Jordan Mary are MK’s (missionary kids) from Cameroon west Africa who decided that they wanted to see the “rest of Africa” over their summer off.  Thousands of bicyclists, overlanders, motorcyclist, hitch-hikers and tourists aspire to this feat every year, with their starting point in Cape Town, South Africa to Cairo, Egypt.  Both arrived with many stories to tell about their adventures, but are sure to make plenty while they journey through Zambia.  Luke and Jordan said they had only to cross over into Zambia at the Kazangula border and they knew that they had arrived into the “real Africa”.  They’ve been stuck here, waiting for repairs to be completed on their bikes.  Things are happening on an Africa time frame – which has pushed them to their limits.  They’ve decided to shift to Eureka Campgrounds until everthing gets sorted. We’ve enjoyed having them in our home this week and are praying that God keeps them safe on the crazy roads of southern Africa.
