7th July 2008 Royal Hotel & Dancers

JULY 7TH 2008

Ealy morning breakfast in the Sun restaurant; Rob & Hazel recount tales of their night out in Livingstone with David. We decide to walk the few hundred yards to the Royal Livingstone. This is a five star hotel, the big brother to the Zambezi Sun. The Husseys have stayed there and rate it highly (personal butlers are available).


The hotel is not flamboyant like the Sun. The rooms back on to a wide lawn studded with a variety of African trees and zebras and monkeys. A fence to keep elephant and hippos out separates the lawn from the Zambezi. There is a quiet, genteel air of oplulence and calm. Smartly dressed staff stand discreetly by.

Back at the Sun we sat around the outside bar drinking. Unannounced the Zambian National Dance Troupe trooped (sorry) in and began a two hour routine of traditional drumming, singing and dancing in full costume by the pool.



Excellent entertainment.
