Tuesday, May 22, 2007
 
So, after 13 days of travels we crossed into Zimbabwe.

We spent 2 days in San Luis Obispo and Big Sur.  The views of the coastline from this stretch of 1 are incredible.  Lots of shear drops into the sea, such as these.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
For us though, the shore was covered by thick fog that we only avoided by heading up.  So we went up each day – once on a hike
