    April 21 in Zimbabwe ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    Awoke early and climbed the stairs from our downstairs bedroom looking for coffee. Found Sabi in the kitchen but no electricity or gas, so no coffee.

    Abandoned the idea of coffee, dressed and headed off for a walk up the firebreak to the viewpoint at the top. Had to do some bushbashing because a couple of large wattle had been felled. Spectacular views of Inyangani and vistas to the west.

    Back for coffee and breakfast. Porridge is the staple for Jean and its been a staple this visit.

    About 10.00 we embarked on a car ride and went up the road to the communications tower and its views. From there we drove to Troutbeck and asked about an anniversary lunch tomorrow. Wandered down to the dam with Sabi off the lead and into the water.

    Left Troutbeck and headed further north, on a road I have never been on before. Views of Mozambique and a large mountain to the east.

    Turned off on a dirt road and eventually found Nyamoro Dairy and its cafe. Had lunch in the garden under a tree. Quiche, toastie, chips and home made lemonade.

    On the way back we turned off and went up to World's View and the Connemara Lakes. What a special vista! No wonder it's called World's View. Climbed the topological tower to see how far away other places were.

    Made our way back to Chipungu for a late tea on lawn. Another spectacular sunset. Lit the fire and relaxed after a day of scenic memories.
