The long awaited African adventure
- Thread starter MURPHY
- Start date
Ok it seems as if I left out the falls [ vic falls ] - flippin unbelievable place, Zambia is laughing at the Zim arsholes who have cocked it up . What a place !! photos on the way - The Zambians really want you to enjoy their country and seem to revel in the fact that you are spending money in their little world . Could move there tomorrow - a real feel good place !!
So - we spent the weekend with my very good client and friend Rhys Davies , who works for Elovo sugar . WHAT A TREAT - these people don't really know what the average person has to deal with . As we arrive at the Lake Rhys is still at work but Steven the house boy has already been instructed to look out for us - and so he does . Cape Maclear is a normal township with four really upmarket cottages owned by Illovo . What a place!!!
Daskop and myself arrive at about lunch time and four locals take care of our luggage and usher us to our rooms at the cottages . We then shower and decide its time for lunch- Well we thought a walk down the beach would be on the cards - but no Steven the house boy got pissed off and told us to wait . Well he took the company boat out of the boat shed and insisted that he took us down the beach for lunch - what a mind blast.!! These people are really something else . Cape Maclear is actually a small township at the lake side but shit what an awesome bunch of people living the perfect lifestyle .
Well this was a weekend that we will never forget , Colonial style is still alive and well in deepest darkest Africa and its respected still !!
The first night we decide to braai and wonder why there is no fire - well an hour or so later Steven and his helper produce the fire and the salad and all the table settings . They even got changed into white outfits to serve the guests !! What a mind blast in deepest darkest Africa .
the whole weekend was the same with people doing everything for us . The whole feeling was unbelievable, at first we felt guilty that these people were doing everything for us , but soon realized it was their pleasure and they genuinely want to please everyone . This is a small little part of Africa where everyone seems to be the same rich and poor . These people take their jobs seroiusly and dont have any entitlement issues.
