Shuff-ff-ffling Part One

All I can say is the past 10 days have been possibly the best ever! And guess how many days leave I took?? 4!! Gotta love April in the place. So lets talk about spontaneity- my plans for going to Mozam all came together on Thursday- I left Friday- I am literally just through the boarder on the way home (5pm) and I get a call that we are leaving for Kariba at 6am the next day! I get home at 9 unpack- rinse bikini- repack- sleep for a few hours and hit the road again. I think it best I break this story into sections, I will start with Kariba because of my rapidly failing memory...

The Crew:

The Bop,
Gaga (Aka The Blonde BF)
Green Leader ( Due to his case of major greens from the'off wors')
Mos (I'm Squito she's Mos)
Ladybird (Actually a big strong male- but it suits him)
Miss FOMO (Last one awake every night)
The Protector (For wanting to flatten people)
Knight Rider (With a silent K, also The Squeeze)
ToHH (The only Homophobic Homo)
50 (Like the cent)
Johnny Blaze

The Drive:

After waking up at 4am to get to The City- to get booze at the 24 hour Arundel Spar (or not- they just change it to normal and dont let us know), we finally leave at 7- in the sexiest black Vigo! Not to drive to Kariba- but to fly to Kariba! if it wasn't for the toll gates I think we would have made it there in 2 hours- which made for a nice change to out mozam drive the day before- averaging a incredible speed of about 50k's an hour!

• I need to commend the Bop on his incredible talent to drink Savanah! I would have 'seen death'
• But the Savanah may have been the cause of his brilliant idea to get two hunnies to flash! The Bop to ToHH quote- "I like hooter- you like hooter lets get them to flash"- so we over take- slow down- The Bop shows some nipple which means 'now you show some nipple'- us three girls in the back are now hiding on the floor- ToHH tries to have a look- thus pulling the car into the next door car- which we then discover is being driven by the girls father! Goooood one!! They also then pull into Makuti- I was so sure we were going to get followed- and given hidings! We had to park at the top to avoid confrontation..
• We arrive only to find the keys are only in Chinoyi- so we head off to 'the town'- on the way- we take a wrong turn- reverse onto a main road (well almost- we hit the curb just before). Got stopped by cops-no wait- we didn't stop- we went straight through........and then stalled!

Eventually the keys arrive so we head back to meet up with everyone and get to the point for some soup and stuff (Johnny was there) wait for the sun to go to sleep and head back to Charara- the third car had arrived- lets call her The Vehi-icle- carrying the Green leader and Knight Rider. Well talk about being on a different level- and there is nothing like a first impression! Thank goodness I had a whole weekend to redeem myself! And that is how long it took!

Night one:

There is a disco at Long Bar- we must go! In amongst a whole heap of memory loss I have one:
Walking down the road with Mos, Gaga and The Bop- and there he is- he was clearly born to save lives- its Des! "Just be careful" he hollas "There are man eating Hippo's roaming this land- in fact it is too dangerous- I must escort you"- we walk slowly but surely- "there it is" shouts Des- pointing his torch at big ass pot plant in the distance! WTF! But we managed to get escourted all the way back too- Des was even kind enough to stop and fetch his stronger torch- we tried to take advantage and escape- but he came out with a maussive torch- we were like deer in the headlights! I am not sure how long a lasted after the 'experience' but I think I took the fact that my top lip had stopped working as a good time to hit the sack!!

Do you know what I love about Kariba- the lack of hangovers- whether its because you sweat your hangover out while you drink, or the altitude or maybe you dont get a chance to hang- I love the way you wake up feeling about 70%- in Harare it would be about a 10%...

I woke up- after having top lip failure and managed to eat a big brekkie- have a cup of coffee etc.. it was awesome!

To be continued..........

PS All our meat had melted and could not be refrozen- tragedy!
