Last send for next 2 days - so enjoy, all! Sorry Carl is so ill - making life a REAL pain for all - he DID want to eat at a roadside local in some hellhole town in cholera - infested Mocambique!!!!!

(JOKE!).

Yesterday had a lovely drive down from Mutare - pity Steve, Vicky and Carl slept through most of it!

Woke in time for curio shopping at Birchenough Bridge - across the Save River - and a stop on the bridge. It's an exact half-size of the Sydney Harbour Bridge! (pic 1).

Hit by a sudden beer attack en route to Masvingo, so poured back our ssupplies and had to replenish at Nyika - pic 2.

Arrived at Kyle National Park at sunset - drove straight into a family of white rhino (pic 3), then set up camp overlooking the lake - pic 4.
