We left Sarenje at 6AM by middle-sized bus heading for Kapiri where a Peace Corps Cruiser was supposed to pick us up but due to a very last minute ‘schedule change’ we were going to have to hitchhike the many many more hours to our destination in the Copper Belt.
This is a middle-sized bus, bigger than the mini-buses that run through the towns, but smaller than a long-distance bus.
They pack these guys to the roof with people and their belongings. Packed such that you get shoveled into your space and you just stay like that waiting for it to be over.
