Day 1: Zimbabwe

   Zimbabwe is in southern Africa, that is why it took such me such a  long time to get there. When I got out of the airport it was about 13:00. I was tired after the long journey but I was also excited because I was in a different country. The climate outside seemed to be semi-arid, very dry. I also saw on the news that Central Zimbabwe's climate was temperate, mild, and that East Zimbabwe's climate was tropical, hot and wet. The vegetation seemed to be low trees and shrubs with spines or thorns (thorn forest). I also saw on the news that the majority of Zimbabwes land was savannah, tall grass parkland with scattered trees. Zimbabwe´s largest and capital city is Harare but the 2nd largest city is Bulawayo. After I looked around I went to go pick up my rental car. It was a black 5-seater Audi.  I decided that I would first go to my hotel and take a shower. I was staying at a 5 star hotel in Victoria Falls called The Victoria Falls Hotel. It was very fancy! By the time I checked-in, got cleaned up and got settled in it was already 15:30. I wanted to go grab something to eat. I went to a casual restaurant right outside of my hotel. There I found out that Africans eat bugs as a source of protein and they are said to be tasty! But don't worry, I didn't try any...  Some of the bugs they eat include; ants, grasshoppers, stink bugs, mopane worms and locusts.

 
     After I had eaten I wanted to see the sunset. The sun set at 17:38.

    The sunset was amazing! It was gorgeous! After the sun had set I went to my hotel and went straight to bed because I knew the next day would be busy.
