Friday July 10, 1998 - We left at 6:15 am for the ferry in Mlibizi. We arrived at 7:30 am at the ferry. The ferry left at 10am and was very beautiful. I gave my remaining white bread and peanut butter away to one of the sculpters at the ferry. I was glad not to see that anymore. We saw on the 24 hour ferry ride 400 km clear across Lake Kariba a lot of amazing sites. We saw elephants, hippos, and nice fish eagles. The food on the ferry was great. Lots of vegetables all you can eat buffet style. They even cooked my oatmeal for me in the morning. At 5pm they stopped the ferry and we swam for 10 minutes in the middle literally of Lake Kariba. No crocodiles or Bhilarzia to worry about here. It's too deep. Some people dived off the boat deck, but I just walked off the ramp. I met a really nice Indian family from South Afrika. "Bumulunga" is the province they live in. They were a nice muslin family who also ate vegetarian like me because the meat was not blessed by the Islam sheik. She gave me some beautiful sacred prayer beads she got in Mecca last year on her pilgrimage. I will treasure them. Also that day Shinge told me that I was a very special person. He said he meets very few guys with a heart like mine. He said: " Wherever you go Mozambique, Afrika, carry that heart with you." I said I would and always do. I also told Shinge he was very special, my gaurdian angel, who I could not have done the trip without.
