29 June, Wednesday Binga to Vic Falls
Bingo Binga and Spur
Strap and pack and back on the road – 2 hours on a good road to
Vic Falls. The campsite is big with bungalows, camping area, swimming pool,
restaurant: definitely the place to stay for overlander truck groups,
backpackers and hikers. The rest camp is full with visitors from South Africa
as it is South African school holidays.
We unstrap and unpack and Willie and I walk to the bridge from
where we want to take photos of the Falls. Long before one can see the falls, a
cloud of mist rises in the air with a thundering roar. It is a magnificent sight
and I can only imagine how awestruck Livingstone must have been when he
discovered the falls for the world to
see.
Victoria Falls has a Spur! Spur is a franchise
restaurant chain in South Africa and Namibia, obviously now in Zimbabwe also and
it has always been one of our favorite eating out places to go. We’ve talked so
much about it, told Andrej about all the different dishes, our favorites, and
voila, here is a Spur. Willie and I decide we will surprise the guys with a Spur
treat! We have several celebration reasons: Willie’s 56th birthday in April, Andrej’s and Hugo’s 20th in June, and our 32ndanniversary the 23rd of June!
Surprise – no! Trust the boys to find the Spur on their
wanderings through the town…but it does not take away from the excitement of
the prospect of a Spur dinner. We are not disappointed either. Andrej, Hugo and
I have Burgers, onion rings and chips and Willie a steak. Yummy, delicious,
lip-smacking, scrumptious, delectable,
tasty…!
