As I said earlier, a day when we would all rather have been gone, further down the road into Zimbabwe, rather than spending it treading water in Victoria Falls. It became a shopping, coffee and blog day. The Shearwater Café not only does great coffee and shakes, but also offers free wi-fi, which is the fastest yet found on this trip. Thus, everyone frequents it. It also has an odd spray-mist pipe surrounding the seating area as a cooling system for patrons, rather like those archways you get to run through during a hot marathon.
There was a decent range of fabrics to select from down at The Elephant Walk craft centre. Job done. Hope I chose some acceptable ones. The standard of craft in every unit was pretty formidable; most in the group bought something or other.
The evening took us off to the Boma Restaurant, a rather cavernous place just out of town, whose main draw was the breadth of the menu. It would be fair to say that we carnivores could try most of the meats we had seen earlier walking the Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Impala, eland, crocodile, kudu, warthog, etc, etc. And a salad bar beyond compare to boot. The sweets table groaned similarly. Possibly the best part came after the food. The entertainment comprised drummers and an acappella performance. Top-drawer.
Back home to a cool tent and instant, quality sleep. At last. Excellent.
