29 June, Binga Binga Spur

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…!

    "There is something about safari life that makes you forget all your sorrows and feel as if you had drunk half a bottle of champagne - bubbling over with heartfelt gratitude for being alive. One only feels really free when one can go in whatever direction one pleases over the plains, to get to the river at sundown and pitch one's camp, with the knowledge that one can fall asleep
    beneath other trees, with another view before one, the next night." -
     Karen Blixen - Out of Africa, Kenya
    'Of course as I am reading this, I know that you DO get your visas and the container DOES get released, but oh the internal struggle we face even though we should trust (as Hugo does) that God has His hands on all things and is constantly taking care of us.'


    From a Friend:
    :) Crazy to think that we are ALL made of blood, bone and water yet we speak in so many tongues that getting along together becomes a massive task within itself.
