From Queues to Elephants

30 hours of travel are behind us. Thirty. 😅

In between: a layover in Johannesburg and waiting in rather wintry temperatures at – according to a British co-traveler – the “worst airport in the world.” His reasoning: the legendary long queues that apparently even transit passengers can't escape. We can at least confirm: quick is not how it goes here. 😂

However, the airport does offer some exotic shopping options: very colorful clothing – and real zebra skins. 🦓😳 I left both behind.

And then came the moment when fatigue suddenly didn’t matter much: just before landing in Zimbabwe, we could actually see our first herd of elephants from the plane. Can you spot them? 🐘🐘🐘
Africa. Really now.

Our accommodation is great, and at dinner, instead of background music, we were treated to a rather impressive frog concert. 🐸🎶

By the way, there’s no picture of us today. After 30 hours of travel, we agreed to spare posterity this sight. 😂

Tomorrow we are heading to the Victoria Falls. We could already see their mighty spray from a distance today.

But first: sleep.
We have arrived. 🌍❤️
