Zimbabwe First Impressions

Random early observations from Zimbabwe:

Crossing the Victoria Falls Bridge into Zimbabwe, a man shouted, "Welcome to Zimbabwe!" Cam and I both braced ourselves for the product he was trying to sell, or maybe he was a black-market money changer. Nope! He just wanted to welcome us. 

Passing a taxi-stand on our way into town, one taxi driver shouted "Taxi?" I responded, "no." No one else hassled us. 

We passed a curios (souvenir) market. No one bothered us. 

Walking into town, we had two 'fly-catchers' (people trying to sell us tours or safaris) approach us. The first one, when told we were just heading to our hostel, said, "Ok! Please come back later." The second one only persisted long enough to know if we wanted to buy weed. 

This

will buy a beer or a rum & coke, but this

is worthless. 

I'm liking this place!
