Bye bye Zimbabwe hello Botswana

Day 13 and 14
This rally is quite amazing. We have seen some fanatic sights along with some terrible poverty.
We did not think much of Zimbabwe, the country appears to be very poor. There are a lot of burnt out houses, terrible roads and the people seem to be very subdued. The main form of employment appears to be traffic police.
Having been done for speeding in South Africa we were very careful not to be "done" in Zimbabwe.
As it happens we were one of the very few cars not to be pulled over for one reason or another,
all those stopped were fined for various reasons ranging from speeding to not having a white reflector fitted to the car. The amounts ranged from $5 to $30, some crews even managed to get stopped 3 times.
We left Zimbabwe this morning and entered Botswana, what a difference a border makes.
The roads are great, it's clean, and the people are happy and smiling, even the police are giving us friendly waves.
All the cars are going well. The competition has now been calculated on the overall times. We are in 13th place, mainly due to our slow time on the last stage. We are only 5 minutes off the lead so all is not lost and our actual rivals are well within reach. We will never catch some of the 5 litre monsters :)
We do have a little competition going on as to which car can go the furthest without the mechanics looking or working on it. We think there are 3 of us still in the running. Let the best Porsche win :)

Yesterday we were at Victoria Falls, and for the first time ever we flew in a helicopter. It took us up and over the falls, absolutely breathtaking. Might have to get one and avoid the London traffic :)
We are now at Nata Lodge in Botwana, a fanatic place but because we are in the middle of nowhere the internet is very limited. Sorry for the very short post.
Tomorrow we fly to the Okavango Delta in a small light aircraft another first. Not sure there will be any internet for a couple of days.
Here are some photos of our fantastic adventure. If you have never been to Africa you are missing a whole new world. Better still get yourself a classic car and really have some fun. We simply cannot recommend this enough.
