The nights are getting more humid and the day temperatures are rising too. Our Dutch neighbours Rob & Lillian were up around the same time, 6.30am but it took us a little longer to shower and pack up. Again, we have enjoyed their company and it’s interesting that we continue…
Another morning where we are up at 7am. This is getting a habit..:) After breakfasting, showering and packing up, we went and visited our Landy neighbours, Edith & Peter to say goodbye. They arrived back in Malawi only yesterday from Belgium after a break of 5 months, to be reunited…
On the road by 8.45am. Wow, and nobody wet the bed…:) Only Kiwi’s would understand that comment? The 2k’s back to the main road were potholed, as was the road the whole of yesterday. Wrestling with the wheel to avoid smashing a tyre or worse, wheel, or whole suspension.However, turning…
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…
