At 05h00 am sharp we were up and quickly got ready to leave. We rode the 135km stretch to Lusaka only to hit the morning rush hour as we entered the city. The maverick Tumi decided to lead us out of the traffic jam on the pavement.
We had exhausted our kwachas and in desperate need of fuel, a bank was therefore the obvious first stop. The ever jinxed Thendo got his bank card swallowed by the ATM machine.
In no time we were back on the road headed for the Tanzanian border with 1004km ahead of us and 1900km to Dar es Salaam. 
Lunch and mapping in Serenje
We managed to ride 800km till Mpika where we set up camp and had a nice yet simple dinner. Mpika is a small district town hosting the Chitulika village where the current Zambian President grew up.
Setting up camp in Mpika
Tomorrow we face the next stretch of 1200km to Dar es Salaam. Given a border enroute, we might only manage 800kms.
