All Over The Place

One of the ways we like to get around Zimbabwe is in this little truck (don't worry - both the roads and the truck stop us from going too quickly). It's way more fun to ride in the tray than the cab and the girls have become quite used to setting up a comfy space and greeting all the locals along our way. On Sundays it's a privilege (and a little daunting) to carry over thirty children to church in the tray. They sing and giggle their way along. I cannot describe the delightful sound of such a gorgeous African choir.

This week we took Babu (Anthea's dad who is visiting us) to the botanical gardens. After clambering around the jungle for an afternoon we enjoyed climbing back into the truck for afternoon tea. We love having a mobile picnic area! 

Last week I did get fined for having too many passengers but the tray was empty! We actually had all the family in the cab and apparently five is too many. When you see the miraculous way people pile into vehicles here, it seems amusing that I now have a mark against my name for "Excess Passengers".
