For our last few days in Zimbabwe we chilled by the swimming pool, visited lots of friends, shopped for crafts and tried to figure out Uncle Colin's job! It was wonderful and I could've very easily stayed out:) For me the highlight was visiting the countryside and an exemplary farm, following one of Uncle Colin's colleagues on one of his visits.

We were especially lucky as it was a full moon the day we arrived so we were also able to visit the Falls at night and still see them and the rainbows by moonlight. Quite special.
