Bulawayo

Pumba on the tracks!


Bulawayo
From Victoria Falls we took a train to Bulawayo, a cool little city that somehow felt like a mid-90's American town, with wide avenues, run-down trucks, and strip malls.



Just outside of Bulawayo, we visited Matobo National Park, famous for cave paintings, huge boulders, great views, and Cecil Rhodes' grave.

Mother and Child. (That's the name of the rock formation. I've just got a gut.)


San bushmen painted on the walls of this cave 2,000 years ago.
Paintings of leopards
Walking up to World's View, the highest point in the park.

Cecil Rhodes, the founder of Rhodesia, asked to be buried on the top of World's View. Not a bad spot.

TK moves some rocks around.
