So, we are still in Brisbane waiting to sort out our visas for Papua New Guinea. But I have a new computer and am once again connected and may as well inflict my holiday photos upon you regal you with tales of our Zambian trip…
After having the house packed and rehoming the cat

(This is mostly books)
We got up at 5 am to head to Zambia for a much needed holiday.
Gorgeous Girl was thrilled to find a family of cats living at the Livingstone International Airport.

So we had to stop while she said hello. After leaving the airport we were met by an employee of Hemmingways and taken to pick up the car we had hired. After being shown how to use the vehicle we picked up some groceries and headed to our first campsite.
The car had two tents on top. This is Gorgeous Girl’s tent.
The view from the front of the car.
Gorgeous Girl slept in her own ‘room’ most nights. We made sure that she knew not to climb down the ladder in the dark. Armed with her torch and her water bottle she was really good about sleeping in her own little tent.
A highlight of the evening for Gorgeous Girl was finding a giant cricket.

Those that know Gorgeous Man will realise that Gorgeous Girl is truly her father’s daughter.

You have a very brave daugther – sleeping in her own tent and carring a giant cricket around!
Good luck with the visas!
that’s definitely a BIG cricket!!
Gorgeous girl is a lot braver than me- I would NOT have held that cricket for any price. Hope you soon get your visas. Good to catch up with you. Anne x
She’s so BIG!!!! And that cricket – ugh!
Not crazy about the cricket, but loved hearing about your trip so far. All the best on your travels!!
Gorgeous girl sure is a cool kid! Love the cricket
My brother and his girlfriend was in Papua New Guinea in November- they climbed the Carstensz Pyramid, and they had an amazing trip!
That is a cricket?!
Love the tent setup! I’m assuming that the tent is on top of the car because of animals?
That “cricket” and I would not be friends!
It seems that you people love traveling and your daughter look brave and smart as well!
