Just passing through

Not much to say about this city. Next destination is Malawi but it's a long drive from Gweru so we stopped off for a night in the capital city. It was certainly interesting driving through, and wondered why soo many police checks along the way - later found out a planned assasination of President Mugabe was foiled.....exciting stuff. The main mode of transport around these parts is foot or bicycle as petrol is unaffordable for the majority. It is also possible to hitch a ride on the back of a truck or ute. People line the sides of the roads trying to sell what little produce they grow to support families. Inflation is terribly out of control and in the one week we were here, some everyday common products rose 300% alone. It is certainly tough for the people.
