Zimbabwe: Harare and Balancing Rocks

The capital of Zimbabwe, I made it. The 1st accommodation in the Lonely Planet for Harare is USD 55 which is not true. I stayed at the "Small World" for USD 11 per night for a dorm. So that is sorted.

My mission for the first day was to try to get some money. As Zimbabwe is not using their own money anymore (except in the Combis in Harare), the ATM's are not in use. After going for 2 hours from one bank to the other I figured out that I couldn't change my Traveler Cheques. I still had some money for the following two or three days but what should I do after that? Well lucky me that there is a thing called "Western Union". Though this company wouldn't help me if I wouldn't have such great parents which are there for me or let me say for all their three children at any time. Thank you soooooo much!!!!!

THE thing to see in Harare are the "Balancing Rocks". If you ever have seen Zimbabwean money you know what I am talking about. Isn't it impressive?!?! Pictures will follow soon hopefully.

To be honest there is not a lot more I did do in Harare but I did have a good time. Just easy, no hurry, polle, polle.
