Zimbabwe
The bus journey was a good 15 hours from Malawi to Zimbabwe and because we had to transit through western Mozambique, it involved two border crossings, a nightmare day for Jonathon with his border-phobia. The trip wouldn't have been so bad if the bus wasn't ridiculously overloaded with freight and locals, some standing in the center isle for the full duration of the trip, 32 hours from Malawi to Jo'burg!! We arrived in Harare ...
God's country

Day 12 - Tammy's Wedding
... buy a birthday card for Joelle (niece), whose birthday it is today. We got home, relaxed a little and then started getting ready for the wedding. We left in good time, and only made one or two little errors, and got to the venue on time. It was a different kind of service, being a Jehovah Witness ceremony, but they ended with the usual vows.
