Burke’s Paradise Zimbabwe Africa

It was supposed to be paradise. It was nice. I’m just not sure that I could ever find a piece of Zimbabwe that I could ever call paradise. That’s because I’ve heard that if you don’t vote for the current president come election time you could loose a finger. Or worse. But, people seem to be genuinely happy here. Burke’s Paradise was a campground, hostel, and rooms for rent all rolled up into one. The place was large and there was a pool and a cottage with two bathrooms and a kitchen as well as a TV room. However, we lost power about halfway through our two night stay and we never regained it. That’s not all that strange as I found loosing power in Africa is a high probability occurrence. I’m glad I brought a good flashlight. With no power, the hot shower I thought I was going to get turned out to be a little cooler than I expected. Plus, there was no internet in Paradise, the TV was had a really bad picture, and the VCR had a serious tracking problem. Paradise? Well, maybe for Miss Burke… Note that the largest dimension available for this picture is 1024 X 768 as it was uploaded at a very slow bandwidth from a remote location in Africa.
