At the boarder the heat is nearly unbearable. We start climbing up towards Harare and quick enough the temperatures drop and we are able to cycle all day long without drinking 6 liters of water.
Zimbabwe is a wonderful unexpected surprise. Nothing to do with all the bad news we know from western newspapers. People are very friendly, very respectful and often speak much better English than we do.

Before entering Harare we look for a place to sleep and meet a Swiss guy who's been in Zimbabwe for nearly 30 years. He offers us to sleep in his cottage at his farm and invites us to stay at his house in Harare.
