As we start off in the morning a street vendor sells us a newspaper
Sleepy Sunday morning in Lusaka
We pass a pickup truck full of people headed for Sunday church services
We head back to Kariba Minerals to fix our problems

The bonnet (hood) had just popped as we were traveling at about 50 miles an hour. It was all buckled and cracked the windshield
One of many hood raisings from overheating on the way to Mumbwa
People watched us as we fixed and fixed on the Land Rover. This is the main road between Lusaka and Angola. It was built by the Chinese. |

Banda shows us the problem:

We were in good hands of guard protecting the premises of Kariba Minerals

Problems on the road. Another belt--this one loose. The man in blue appeared out of nowhere and seemed to know a lot about what to do

We finally dispatched our driver Webster back to Lusaka on approaching truck to bring another car while we decided to stumble on ahead towards Mumbwa. We ultimately made it to Mumbwa. We never heard from Webster again.
