GYPSY X PETAUKE MARKET

Petauke Market, Petauke

I've just realized how long it has been since I last posted! I think the trees that were planted then are already bearing fruit now, lol. However I'm back and I hope to bring more and more interesting documentations of my travels around the world.
Last week I ventured out of Zambia's Capital City, Lusaka and headed to a place where things are much much slower and quieter. We traveled for about five hours to the Eastern Province of Zambia and arrived in Petauke, a small town there.

Transport anyone?

Upon arrival we had some lunch which comprised of great Traditional Zambian food such as Zumba (a form of leafy okra mixed groundnuts) which I love so much and of course our staple food Nshima. Then we just relaxed with family and went to bed quite early (as you do in the village). The next morning we started our day quite early and headed out for some grocery and general shopping with my family.

I was too busy enjoying my day at the market to take enough pictures, however these are some I thought you would be fascinated by. And lastly of course is a picture of showing my back to the world in search of "anonymity" haha
