Livingstone Festival 19th to 21st June 2013

We left Lusaka by road on the 19th June and had a long drive to Livingstone with the instruments.  When we got there we were able to have a day out at Victoria Falls which was absolutely fantastic.

Then we were onto the floats for 2 days of the First International Cultural Arts Festival in Livingstone created to celebrate the bicentenary of the birth of the Scottish missionary David Livingstone.

Transporting the instruments around Venice is interesting to say the least!
