Trip Across Africa DAY #20
Travel day today. Were originally thinking of staying another day or two in Zimbabwe and going to the Chimanimani National Park to do some hiking. But we got our fill of hiking at the ruins yesterday, and were behind a couple of days due to the car problems we were having (as well as the cost of staying in Zimbabwe for two more days). So from Great Zimbabwe ruins this morning, we drove four hours into Harare, and then another three hours to the Mozambique border (which went really smooth as we are residents of Mozambique). Then we made for the city of Tete, which is the center of the Tete province of Mozambique and sits right on the Zambezi River. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the Mozambican roads to Tete were all paved (as we are used to the gravel road drives, dodging obstacles). Tomorrow morning we will make for Blantyre, Malawi, and stay the night there.

For all of you who were praying for the mechanics of our Nissan Terrano, THANK YOU SO MUCH. After having the injectors replaced and the diesel pump cleaned and rebuilt, we have had no problems whatsoever. In fact, it is running even better than when we first bought it. God is so good!
