“What do you mean? We have to go home.” I thought I had misunderstood the man behind the desk and the custom office.
We had popped over to Tanzania for the weekend, expecting to return to our apartment in Nairobi on Monday.

The first two choices were out, so we thought, 'Why not?’ Zambia and the Victoria Falls it is.
