Day 17 Saturday 25 April Harare

Up early.

Finished packing before breakfast.

Loaded the car by 10.00 and headed for the airport with Graham and Jean. A slow trip but arrived in plenty of time. A really emotional farewell. They gave us a fabulous holiday in Zimbabwe. A beautiful couple - with a fun spaniel, Sabi, - as well as George and Caroline to assist them.

It was sad to fly out.

A good South African Airways flight to Johannesburg (1 hr 20mins)

Made our way to the bus terminal and waited a long time for the shuttle. Eventually dropped off at Peermont L'Oréal Hotel.

Relaxed before going for a walk within the huge complex. Never seen so many poker machines!

Joined the whole group for a drink in the bar before adjourning to the table for 12 in the dining room. Much talk as we all became acquainted.

On the trip with us
* Gloria Blonde & Greg Bruce
* Don Butler & John Curotta
* Liz & Michael Light
* Jenny & David Wells
* Wendy & Peter Wurfel

Everyone tired and there is an early start tomorrow so a reasonable bed time.Read more
