Saturday July 11, 1998 - We got a luxury bus to Harare and arrived at 2:30 PM. Shinge guided us to our hotel through the streets of Harare. The riding was intense, but we all made it ok. I have really enjoyed the trip and will miss my fellow riders. A word about getting off the bus. This was the most hectic scene I ever experienced in my life. It was a mad scramble, as we pitch and passed in relay form out the window, 30 different pannier type pieces of luggage. We made a quick check under the seats for everything and in the overhead. We all felt like we were missing something, but it in the end, it turned out nobody was missing anything. We were all a little tense after that for a while. However by the time we got back to good old Selous Hotel we were quite calm and very happy. Bicycle Africa was welcomed back in royal style. And my bike box that was looking a bit like a Swiss cheese now with all the holes in it was still there. We had a wonderful dinner tonight at a Safari Game restaurant. It also featured the cheapest postcards in Zimbabwe, only 1.75 Zim Dollars per card so I bought a stack. The others had game: kudu, ostrich, wildebeest, warthog. I ate fish (bream) and vegetables. Tomorrow is our last breakfast together.

  





I will have future pics here for more travelogues in the future.
