Despite all the weekend fun – flying planes, searching for bushman paintings and petting elephants – I was now starting to get a deeper understanding into Zimbabwe and the people who live there. Will assured me: “Through all of the turmoil going on here we still live a really good life.” And I started to see more and more of what he meant. [read on]
The bus ride to Harare was fairly uneventful, except for the one time we got stopped by police, searching for money. Everyone in the bus filed off, then filed on as everyone opened their bags and the police officer peeked inside. Very unthorough; mostly a waste of time. When I arrived in Harare, I was given a ride by a pick-up taxi. I threw my things in the back and sat in the front. Mistake #1. As we drove along, the driver asking me how the police were on the road in to Harare, I looked back to check on my things. Lo and behold did I notice the guy in the back going through my bag. We were at a stoplight, so I jumped out in the back with him. [read on]
I originally had no plans to go to Zimbabwe. The last bit of news I remembered was about Mugabe demolishing housing projects with no warning and no justification. They’re got their problems, I figured; I’ll just wait until some other day. Well, as I got closer and closer to Zimbabwe, I met others who had been there, and assured me that it was safe. Besides, I knew Will from back when I was in London, so I figured I’d check it out. [read on]
