To say we have had an eventful day, would be an understatement. Packing up and on the road by 9am, some sort of a record in itself, we decided to take a detour to Lake Kariba. It was 120k’s in the opposite direction but deemed to be worth the effort…
Today we are heading to Zambia. It’s been a short but very eventful and enjoyable few days in Zimbabwe. Had we not lost so much time waiting for the Landy’s to be cleared in Durban, we would have spent longer here. It’s also what Adam suggested. By 9.30am we drove…
Four months to Christmas…:) I’s much cooler up here in the highlands. Robins Camp is an insight into how things were run when the country was called Southern Rhodesia. Immaculately looked after grounds and as from the photo in yesterday’s blog, lovely thatched villas and a central pool where G&T’s…
Two important announcements for the family, today. First, Happy Birthday to Jaxon. 10 years old today. Congratulations to mother and father for such a beautiful grandson. Birthday boy. Secondly and sadly, Jen’s youngest sisters husband, Dave, passed away this morning, in Lancing. UK. Dave has been a wonderful help allowing…
After a most enjoyable dinner and get-to-gether of the Three TD5 Group last night, it was time to bid them farewell, today. Before doing that, there was an obligatory photo op. outside the camp office. I don’t known how the other four made at 9.30am, as they managed to polish…
These towns come with baggage. Rowdy neighbours and people. Still, there are benefits. Watery wifi and people of similar outlook to chat with. So, apart from relaxing and talking Land Rovers with our fellow travelers for an hour of so this morning, we have not done too much. We have…
By 7am we were up and while breakfasting, could hear the marvelous, deep grumblings of Hippopotami nearby. We were packed and on the road (track) by 9am. A 64k drive to our next destination. Xakagaxa which sounds like Kakananga. I am sure you guessed it already…:) Passing through the North…
A disturbed night. A Defender from Zimbabwe pulled into the camp at around 9pm and it took them an age to set up camp and settle for the night. There were two other families with very young children, one of which woke around 2.30am and the parents paid it no…
First up, Happy Birthday Wendy. Breakfast in bed and gift wrapped Channel #5 from Mike? 🙂 We would have been away from the camp by 9.30am this morning, only I managed to pump water into our water tank space, instead of in the tank, so that took some cleaning out…
Today has been a driving day. Not a lot to see or visit along the way, until we hit the town of Rundu. It has been 320k’s of hard slog into a strong head wind along boring very straight sealed, road.Sealed that is till 8k’s from our present camp site.…
