The buffet breakfast in both of the hotels where I have stayed is very British. Eggs, baked beans, grilled tomatoes, potatoes, Canadian bacon, beef sausage, and pork sausage. By the toast is marmalade, jams, jellies and marmite (a relative of vegemite)! I have one fried egg over easy, one pork sausage, and coffee with hot milk. The other diners have everything.
Several years ago, Zimbabwe abandoned its currency in the times of hyper inflation and “dollarized”. US currency is now the medium of exchange (South African Rands are accepted also). All of the dollars are very old, very dirty and falling apart. When I present my crisp new bills, the store clerks are amazed.
I am finishing my work in Bulawayo in the CNFA office today. The office staff and I will leave early tomorrow for the drive to Harare (6 hours). There is a meeting in the afternoon with another fertilizer company and then spending 3 nights and 2 days at a conference/training center – St. Lucia Park. All of the CNFA staff will gather for a two day meeting with the new Country Director, Tim Bergstrom.
