Last day in Mokore

Biggest Baobab tree in Zimbabwe

This is our last day on Mokore and we are all sad to leave. If any of you have watched the movie 'Out of Africa' this is what this place is like, a little sanctuary in a vast piece of wilderness. The only thing missing is Robert Redford washing my hair, oh well....

Having Al as our very own private game guide has been great! We have also learned how Biltong is made and have had a taste of Kudu, Impala and Bushbug (sorry Mel!!!)

We are spending our last day like most people spent their Sundays, going for a walk (with a rifle!) and finding a big Baobab tree,  Don playing with his new toys, the dogs having a rest, me on the internet, all pretty much like we would have done at home.

The truck has had it's final check up and is now totally self-sufficient, we are carrying 160 litres of fuel and 85 litres of beer, (sorry I meant drinking water) in our extra tanks, 6 bottles of red wine (yes I know, not nearly enough!). One last shopping stop for beers and fresh meat and vegetables tomorrow to stock up our fridge/freezer and then into the hills on Tuesday morning.

The single most valuable item on this trip for me so far has been our laptop, it has been great  being able to keep in touch with family and friends although from now on it will get harder. 

And finally, the photograph I know you have all been waiting for..... our toilet!

All you need to do is dig a hole and let nature do the rest. We have got a self-inflatable cubicle for those slightly more public places
