En Route

Tomorrow my younger brother Eric and I head to the Sea-Tac airport at dawn to catch a standby plane to Atlanta and then on to Johannesburg. Lisa, Eric's friend from L'Abri, will pick us up and we will train to Capetown the next day to spend time with her family. On Saturday the 13th, I leave them to begin the journey North to Kenya. Take a look at the map below to trace the overland route of trains and busses. I start with a Greyhound to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, then take the Bulawayo--Victoria Falls train. The next morning the train will stop before the falls where we will all get out and walk over the bridge into Livingstone, Zambia. The next leg is a train from Livingstone to Kapiri Mposhi. The longest train leaves Kapiri Mposhi and arrives in Dar Es Salaam 45-72 hrs after leaving :) After Dar, I will Akamba and Easy Coach all the way home to Kisumu and on to Nehemiah.
