Day 92 Norma Jean's 03/01/13

The rain did eventually end, but the ground was decidedly squelchy underfoot (so certainly no complaints at our having upgraded last night), and the swimming pool seemed to have gained quite a few inches in depth.

By lunchtime we had arrived at our next campsite, and the dark threatening clouds eventually cleared, which was decidedly good news as the afternoon was devoted to a full guided tour of Great Zimbabwe. Am not sure we all understood everything that we were told but at least we did not think (like the first Europeans who came here in the late 1800s) that - of course - this could not have been built by native Africans, the logical conclusion being that it "must" have been the site of King Solomon's mines. Now it is a World Heritage Site, and has if course given its name to the entire country.
