In Zimbabwe

We've been a bit out of touch lately, as we've have had a few days in Zim ... communication is hard! It's been an excellent time, though.

When we were discussing our route with Sally Ball, it seemed silly not to visit them, since we were passing through Chimoio - only 80kms from the Zim border. The three homeless Balls joined forces with Doug and Tempe van der Rhyt to organise a beautiful long weekend for us in the Bvumba.

We've had long walks, amazing food (even though there is nothing in th shops now - since Mugabe's "inflation busting devices" were put in to effect. Everyone has to be self sufficient to survive in this place, so we've been having everything home grown and home made! And Doug has taught us the basics of Bridge - so we'll have a good past time on the road.

We're heading back in to Mozambique today, and then on to Malawi.
