adri and johan snyman's namibian and zambian trip diary

Afterwards we visited the new Spar shopping complex in Livingstone where we exchanged
some money (Instant kwacha millionaires !) and bought fresh bread and beers. Products sold in
the shops in Zambia are very expensive compared to what we are used to at home (About 3 x
SA prices). For example, the local beer, Mosi Lager costs about K4000 while the SAB products
are selling at about K7000 each (±R13-00).
Tuesday 11 September
As Adri and I wanted to see the Falls from the Zimbabwean side as well, we joined the queue of
people that were crossing the border on foot early the morning. There were also a large number
of trucks waiting to be cleared on both sides of the border. Trucks leaving Zambia were mostly
carrying sheets of copper and timber while those entering Zambia were loaded with mining
equipment and coal.
