SATURDAY 28 DECEMBER We had breakfast with Paul and Lisa at the Falls Sun Hotel, then Linda and I made an attempt to hitch up to Bulawayo after checking out of the camping ground. Our 5-day stay cost us a mere Z$30 as opposed to the $150 that we should have been charged.
But it wasn’t the day for hitching, so at 2 p.m. we gave up and went down to the station and booked two sleepers for the night train which left at 5 p.m. We had dinner in the buffet car, then stretched out on our bunks and slept the night away is the train rolled through the bush and the African darkness to Bulawayo.
