We had breakfast in the kitchen just for a change of scenery. We ordered poached eggs for the main which were cooked perfectly but seemed to put the chef's talents to waste.
We had our chauffeur (that still sounds weird) drive us to CIRCA, a gallery about 1km away. It had an exhibit, The Dark City, which was really well done. It examined the lives of people living in a "bad building". The "bad buildings" were deemed so by city planners for demolition and replacement. This particular one had no electricity, no toilets, and only one water tap for 220 residents. Anyways it was an excellent exhibit.
Next onto a couple galleries with art that maybe we looked like we could buy, having rolled up in our 7-series, but was very expensive. It was interesting just to look at the art though.
We wandered through a couple more galleries, and then found a place that had authentic pieces from around Africa. Some we recognized like the large tent pegs from the Sahara, and crosses from Ethiopia. We particularly liked the Nigerian beds, made from a single piece of wood. We had seen one in our guest house, used as a coffee table, but didn't know what it was.
Our driver picked us up at 2pm as prearranged, and we were whisked back to the guest house for lunch. I tried the impala (?) carpaccio, which was good but not as gamey as I had hoped.
After lunch we were driven to our hotel near the airport, where we were meeting Marissa and Nancy, and then flying out the next morning to see Victoria Falls. Marissa and Nancy are joining us for the next two weeks for Victoria Falls and some safari.
Dinner was better than expected, roasted chicken and various vegetables. Marissa and Nancy didn't get in until 11pm, so I watched a couple bad movies that I wouldn't even watch on an airplane. We had a celebration beer when they arrived and then went to bed.
