Livingstone Tournament , the last one!! Zambezi River Cruise





















Tournament Day By Hal Williams

Hello all, today was an early start as our dorm woke up at 5.40am because of the wrong alarm!  We got to the rugby pitches at 7.30, the teams slowly rolled in and around 20 teams turned up.  We reffed until around 1.30 and gave our second polo shirts to the winners and gave all the spare kit to the schools.  We had classic cheese/ham sandwiches and at 3.45 we traveled to the sunset cruise and ate food and got to see crocodiles, hippos and elephants.  The views were stunning and the trip was different, but enjoyable experience.



Our Last Tournament and River Cruise by Libby Earl

Hi to everyone reading this it's Libby here.  Today was our last tournament of the trip, we woke up, had breakfast and left.  I was feeling especially energized today as I have had an unusual craving for peanut butter and the other day I was able to get my hands on some at the supermarket.  So today, I tucked into the biggest pot of peanut butter I could find.
At the tournament I met the cutest little boy called ChiChi.  He didn't understand english as he was only 5, therefore his answer for everything was 'Yes'.  I also managed to referee the semi-final with Miss Perks sprinting up and down the side line being my linesman.  She is like our mum on this trip and helps me with jobs that include running.
Just to let Max's parents know he was enthusiastic as ever, instead of actually coaching the kids Tag Rugby, he set a 20 minute timer and got them to play sleeping lions.  The poor kids nearly missed the tournament. Ahahaha.
After the tournament we went on the most amazing river cruise and had a BBQ on the boat.  We saw hippos, crocodiles and elephants, it was so cool!  We saw the sunset and got some great photos.  Don't worry Mum and Dad, I have been taking loads of amazing photos.
Love you lots everone, Libby xxx

Last day of training and Victoria Falls!! (and another candle lit dinner!)

Image
Victoria Falls By Eva Roberts After being woken up by the sound of the church bells we had breakfast and headed out to coach for the final time.  When we arrived, all the amazing kids were raring and ready to go, all trying their hardest to be picked for the final tournament.  The kids were so cute and even though being exhausted I loved every second of it. After saying goodbye to the kids, we then headed back to the hotel and ate some lovely cheese rolls (my fave).  We then set off to Victoria Falls and on our way saw a family of elephants.  When we arrived we were greeted by some cheeky baboons trying to steal our stuff.  We then looked around the little markets and of course I bought a lot of things I do not need!  We then made our way down to Victoria Falls through the most beautiful rainforest over all the rocks (Mum would not have enjoyed it!!).  We then saw the bottom of the waterfall and even paddled in th...

Blog Extra: The sights, sounds and smells of Africa!

Image
Good Morning to All Just a few notes as I had to get up early to move our minibus to allow an overland truck to get out of the compound. You can never pick up on the true Africa from television programmes - it is only when you are there that the sight, sounds and smells really come over.  So when I went in to the boys room yesterday the true assault on the senses became a reality!!!! Holding my breath for that long was a challenge! On a more healthy note a few more images form yesterday: Eco brick manufacturing and Safari experience today! Chris
