Day 10: Visiting Matopos, Bulawayo

Our next stop on the visiting Zimbabwe in one week time was Matopos, a natural park not with animals, but with stones. It is a park with magnificent views of rocks balancing on each others, so beautiful that Cecil Rhodes, after who Rhodesia was called, asked to be buried there as the most beautiful view of the world that he knew.   
There are also ancient cave paintings, made ages ago. Especially our mams wanted to see those, since growing up she had a poster of these figures in her room that she could look at for ages. Impressive to image these have spends thousands of years unchanged...


And we also had our share of adventures. Driving over a dam, as if it was a Honda commercial. 

Even to a point where we got worried if we could cross. So brave Jan went out to check on his bare feet, and turned out it was too deep...
No other solution but to turn back, since our mams and Jan also had to catch the train...
