Monday 14th to Wednesday 16th July
The train travels very slowly in Zambia due to the poor quality of the tracks. There's plenty of time to see the world go by as we relax in the lounge.
There are also daily lectures by African historian, Nicholas Schofield.
And so much delicious food and wine! Neil is getting used to poached eggs followed by tea and marmalade toast every breakfast.
I'm getting used to ordering cappuccino at any time.
Then there are afternoon naps and cocktails in the observation car. We could get used to this. We cross the Kafue River.
The train passes very slowly through Lusaka as people scatter off the tracks in front of us.
At Lusaka Station fresh food supplies are loaded up. On Tuesday evening we all enjoy a fun African themed party.
We are due to be up very early for an excursion to Chisimba Falls on Wednesday but Neil succumbs to a virus. Nice excuse for a lazy day for me too..
The train stops for quite a few hours at the border but it's the staff who have to work through the night with customs and immigration issues while all the guests are sleeping in their cabins.
