Actually just checked it was (and still is) £240. Robbery!

I must confess I did it full-service trip

I don't get it.

Are you saying it costs £240 for a visa to enter Zambia?

I assume you were on a British passport?

Yes, a Visa to enter, stay, leave and re-enter and stay again costs £240. A Visa to enter, stay, leave and not re-enter is still pricey.

You can get day entry Visa's, which are cheaper, I've done that in a couple countries. I guess that's what you had. But it's only valid for a very short period, usually a day. I suppose if you left a day later they would whack you for a whole full single entry Visa.

That is daylight robbery!

Cheaper to get your 90 day visa for Zimbabwe and then just hop across the border as and when you want.

Anway, post some more pics

Did you drive through much of Zimbabwe?

Yes we did a fair bit of driving in Zimbabwe.

Tiring, but brilliant. The landscape is breathtaking. These pics don't do it justice. I am so going back to do it on two wheels!

I loved the baobab trees.

Boabab trees are pretty cool, but I never had you down as the tree-hugging type Mel!

ace pics Mel.. you look tres happy.. glad you home safe.

Is the chap in the white vest and shorts (lost luggage?) called 'Crap Dave' by any chance?

Absolutely excellent pics Mel. I knew you'd have a great time regardless with your friends out there, these just show the place is so beautiful.
