We have a slow start to the day,
relaxing in our tent. After packing up our stuff, we wander into town
to get some breakfast. After coming back to the campsite, Lars gets
ready to go play some golf. He is going to go with Paolo and Jim to
the Elephant Hills Golf Course (while Jacqui goes shopping, of course).

They head shortly before 10 AM
and grab a taxi. After arriving and getting all the formalities out of
the way, they head off onto the golf course. It appears to be quite a
nice course. We spend the morning playing the front nine holes.
It is great fun. The course is right next to the Zambezi National Park
and there are lots of animals on the course. We jokingly asked if they
had lions and they told us only in the winter!!!

We saw sable, impala, warthogs
and baboons while we played. The second hole is a par three with a
water hole in front of the green and half the green blocked by trees.
We could see some impalas grazing on the green. When Paolo hit his
shot, one of the impalas bolted - we were not sure if he was hit or just
spooked by the ball landing nearby. On another hole, Lars wandered up
to within 5 meters of a group of sable resting under a tree - his ball was
right near them - before they wandered off. Only to wander right into
the way of Paolo's shot - we had to shoo them off. Lars' best hole was
the 9th one - a par five and he bogeyed it. We had a great time.

After the front nine holes we
decided to stop for lunch. After the meal and a few beers we decided to call
it quits and to head back. It was starting to get hot and the weather
a bit threatening. They took a taxi back to the campsite. After
a quick shower, we joined up with Jacqui and headed over to the Victoria
Falls Hotel for high tea. As it was when we came last time, it was a
very nice meal. We sat there enjoying the tea and snacks while looking
over the falls and the spray.

On our way back to the campsite
we did some shopping and then took a few hours to relax. For dinner,
we headed over to the Explorer's bar. The meal was not too good and we
quickly went to the Kingdom for drinks, cigars and some gambling. Once
again, we did OK - we did not lose any money.
