Zimbabwe: Great Zimbabwe 12.06.2009

Righ now I am in Harare. Traveling in Zimbabwe is actually pretty easy, except that it's expensive compared to other African countries and that getting cash is almost IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!

From Bulawayo I took the public bus to Masvingo. I traveled with 4 guys from England, they had also decided to visit "Great Zimbabwe". 5.5 hours for 270ks.....

Great Zimbabwe is amazing. It has been built between 1200 and 1500 A.D. and is a National World Heritage Site. It was occupied by an ancestral Shona community, which I believe is the biggest "tribe" in Zimbabwe. The ruins are very impressive. The "Great Enclosure" is the largest single pre-colonial structure south of the Egyptian pyramids.

I am really happy that I did decide to come to this beautiful country. It is a shame that they get so much bad publicity. I spent the entire morning in the park and left with the other guys at about 1pm in direction of Masvingo.
