Departing from O.R. Tambo Airport in Johannesburg, the customs official said to me: "Aah, I see you are visiting our neighbours (Zimbabwe). Say hello to brother Bob for me." I said: "I will," and meant it!

Setting the table for lunch at State House. I love the white gloves and the table setting (most of which sadly had to be removed for advertising standards)
Waiting...
Dali and researcher Sanja prepping their material for the lunch
State House, Harare - a side wing, along with voluminous African clouds
Cameras, standby for action...
Rather a snappy dresser!

Nice hat!

Jubilation from me, Lianne and Alice after an auspicious visit... we survived the prediction of the Mayan end of the world, a hair-raising blue light escort to the airport as well as almost missing our flight back to Jozi
Home in time for Christmas. Hooray!
