July 20th, Day 39: We woke up to the sound of roosters and the smell of smoke burning over a coal fire. It had been a decent nights sleep considering the circumstances; we had found a safe place to pitch our tent and had eaten a decent meal the night before. When we emerged from the tent we saw...

July 17th to 19th, Days 36 to 38: We had finally arrived in Lusaka, the unofficial halfway point of our journey to Nairobi, Kenya. Here we would restock on bicycle supplies, get a few necessary parts, and let our bodies enjoy a few days off before we hit the second half of our journey that will...

July 16th, Day 35: We woke up in time to get out of our rooms at the hostel before we would get charged for an extra night and waited around for my brother to finish his early morning lion encounter that he had booked.

July 13th, Day 32: We awoke around 530am to my dismay, but Aaron really wanted to get some footage for the documentary and I obliged. It was completely dark outside when we got on the road, not to mention pretty freezing outside so you could say I was not in the best of moods on this Monday...

July 12th, Day 32: Camping out had been a bit scary and I hadn't managed to get a great night of rest. Besides the constant fear of lions, it had been cold during the night and in my attempt to snuggle up with the fire I had gotten a bit too cozy and burned a sizable hole through my sleeping bag....
