Early rise and search for basket - all intact, except for biscuits and teabags! Onset of utterly unseasonable rain saw us pack up and hit the road for the border - with a farewell warning from Gonarezhou ringing in our ears! (pic. 1 - a warning to us all!!! Never party again. ) Lovely drive - except for poor Carl whose stomach was still playing up - and the brief irritation caused by a puncture at Bubi River. Through customs posts rapidly and on to Messina - and the very fine Mudzwiri Lodge on the edge of town.
