Countries 4 and 5: Zambia and Malawi

Okay, so I didn't get many picture of Malawi and Zambia. Look at my other postings to see the safari I went on in Zambia and one of the villages I stayed at. These are sort of random pics.
Zambia:
Here is a typical village. I would see tons of these on the side of the road as I drove along.
This is how we got across the Zambezi: a punt, or a small ferry that carries like 2 cars and traditionally is powered by men pulling on a trans-river chain. This one had an engine. At some places, trucks have to wait for up to a week to cross.
This was an amazing looking cloud on the way to Malawi. It looks like a bed cover or something.
MALAWI:
Malawi had a bigger Muslim population so we got to hear the call to prayer periodically. This is a mosque in Lilongwe, Malawi.
This is a giant cactus, not a tree. It was in front of one of the hospitals we visited.
Most of the women there have amazing balance, maybe all. They are always carrying huge bags of fruit or corn meal on there heads, a baby on their backs, while doing 2 other things at the same time. African women are amazing!!!
Women tend to wear more traditional clothing than men. Not all, but here is an example.


Welcome to Ndaba airport in Zambia.
This is the main terminal.
And here is the commercial airline plane for Zambian airways.

Aaaa, it was quite an adventure.
