THINGS TO DO FOR FUN IN ZIMBABWE

DRIVE ALONG THE ROADS, ESPECIALLY ROADS FILLED WITH JACARANDA
TREES, 
OPEN YOUR WINDOW AND LISTEN TO THE JACARANDA FLOWER PODS POPPING 
UNDER THE CAR TYRES !!

GO SHOPPING AND COMPARE PRICES IN THE VARIOUS SHOPS, IF YOU REALLY 
TRY YOU CAN FIND SOME OLD STOCK SOMEWHERE AT A RIDICULOUSLY LOW
PRICE 
AND REALLY GET A KICK OUT OF IT.

HEAD OFF DOWN TO THE BEND OVER BAZAAR OUTSIDE THE REVENUE HALL AND 
ASK TO TRY ON SOMETHING. BUT WEAR YOUR PASSION KILLER KNICKERS COS 
THE CHANGE ROOMS ARE INTERESTING AND DIFFERENT !!

GET UP EARLY AND WASH YOUR HAIR, DRY IT BEFORE ZESA SWITCHES OFF
THE 
ELECTRICITY. THEN STAND AT THE WINDOW AND YELL LOUDLY "SUCKS TO YOU 
ZESA !!!"

WAKE UP EARLY AND COUNT THE NUMBER OF BIRD CALLS YOU CAN HEAR IN
YOUR 
GARDEN JUST BEFORE DAWN. LISTEN FOR THE HEUGLINS ROBYN, THE 
CURRICHANE THRUSH, THE COUCAL, THE TROPICAL BOU BOU, THE BRONZE 
MANNIKENS AND THE CRESTED BARBET AND THE GO AWAY BIRDS.

WHEN YOU ARE STRUGGLING TO COOK SUPPER DURING  POWER CUT, OVER THAT 
SMALL GAS STOVE, LISTEN FOR THE CALL OF THE BROWN HOODED KINGFISHER 
AS HE CACKLES GOOD NIGHT TO YOU.

STAND OUTSIDE AT SUNSET AND SEE THE MAGNIFICENT SIGHT OF THE
GLORIOUS 
PINK AND ORANGE SYK AGAINST THE PURPLE OF THE JACARANDA BLOSSOMS.

TAKE YOUR BIKES OUT TO THE MATOPOS AND RIDE AOUND THE CIRCULAR
DRIVE. 
WITHOUT THE SOUND OF A CAR ENGINE AND IN THE IMMENSE QUIET OF THE 
GREAT GREY GRANITE BOULDERS YOU WILL SEE AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF GAME. 
TAKE CARE YOU DO NOT BUMP INTO A RHINO AROUND THE NEXT BEND !
