17 November 2013
The day started early due to our enormous amount of km, over 1000km to the Victoria Falls from Botswana to Zimbabwe. Over all the drive was smooth without many troubles except numbers of crazy cows in the middle of the road. The highlight of the drive was the health and safety stop. Everyone needed to get out of the car and clean their shoes over this “Disinfective mat” against Hand&mouth disease (except for Arthur, who had lost his shoes the day before). The mat actually seemed more infectious than our shoes, but whatever. After a few hours of driving, we finally arrived at the border at 3p.m. To get through the border, it took us more than an hour and a lot of nerves due to the 50°C office. And now we have earned another nice stamp in our passport.
When we arrived, the owner of the backpackers informed us which activities are possible for the next day. Since we had to pay the activities in cash, we had unexpected difficulties to find an ATM that would actually accept our credit cards. The highlight of the evening was selfmade pancakes for dessert.
