One thing I was not expecting was power problems in Solwezi. On-Off-On-Off, it was very disconcerting. Yesterday they did a pre-arranged shut-down for the whole day to try to fix the problem for good.
I was in town and took this picture. Just as I got the shot off a guy came up behind me and grabbed the camera(!) by throwing his hand over the lens. What?! “It is forbidden. FORBIDDEN!” he said a few times. OK OK, I won’t take a picture.
Now as I type this it is almost dinner time on the 14th. My clothes that I washed in a bucket this morning are on the line and relatively clean, I took a fantastic hot shower HOT! shower and am relatively clean, I’ve caught-up on my pictures, I’ve got reservations and everything set for my last week in Cape Town. So let’s go see what the Copper Belt is all about!
