12 June 2011 - Last minute preparations

So we got together with the Joneses to make some final preparations for our trip through Zim Zam Nam.

The food was great (thanks Liesl), but the cake was not so hot, more like chewing mielie meel (I won't say who made the cake!), and we finally got around to setting up this blog. We will post the highlights here, for those who want to know.

As you can tell in the pictures, we are not entirely sane, but we hope to find our way home after 3 weeks in Africa.

The plan is to leave bright and early on Sunday 26th, about 2am. Janette and Liesl are happy about this arrangement as they will sleep anyway. The first day's drive should get us to Beit Bridge by about 8 am, and then after the border we have about 3 or 4 hours drive to Bulawayo. We'll be staying overnight at Nesbitt castle.

That's all for now....
