We made our way along the T1 highway from Livingstone to Monze <strong>and</strong> soon encountered the<br />
first road block. There are a countless number of these Police check points along all the major<br />
routes but we found the officials manning them to be very courteous <strong>and</strong> did not experience any<br />
problems whatsoever at any one of them. The road between Livingstone <strong>and</strong> Zimba (76km) was<br />
potholed but from there onwards the road surface improved <strong>and</strong> good average speeds could be<br />
maintained.<br />
Near Kalomo we visited the “Administrator’s House” – the first non-traditional brick house built in<br />
Northern Rhodesia in +- 1903 for the British South African Company’s Administrator of North<br />
Western Rhodesia. It is a National Monument <strong>and</strong> is currently undergoing renovations. From<br />
there we proceeded to Choma, where we visited the museum <strong>and</strong> then on to Monze, where we<br />
stayed at the Moorings Campsite under some large shady trees. The cost to camp was US$5-00<br />
per person. They have clean ablution facilities with hot showers <strong>and</strong> each campsite is provided<br />
with an electrical outlet <strong>and</strong> water on tap.<br />
