There were also numerous markets along the road where you could buy just about anything : fruit, vegetables, live chickens, goats, rats, monkeys, parrots, bicycles, furniture, clothes – you name it, and someone would supply it …… Total distance for the day was 500km (342km on tar- and 158km on gravel roads) and travelling time was 12¼ hours. Friday 14 September After a very quiet night and not a bird call to be heard at sunrise, we walked to Bell Point which is a National Monument and also the best vantage point into the Wonder Gorge but the angle of the sun and the presence of smoke from a nearby fire made photographing it almost impossible. From there we made our way through areas where subsistence farming with cotton, maize and tomatoes is practised via Old Makushi, Mpulo and Kapiri Mposhi to the T3 highway and from there to Kitwe where we stayed on the Kamfinsa Dairy Farm belonging to ex-South Africans, Eugene and Marlene Meintjies. They run a beef- and dairy farm and have an excellent butchery on the farm. Accommodation in the form of rooms and campsites are available and additional accommodation is under construction. Total distance for the day was 409km (227km on tar- and 182km on gravel roads) and travelling time was 9 hours. © J Snyman Page 25 of 45
