No, I'm not talking about a trip in a Bugatti Veyron ... but a quick stop at our post box in Francistown. It just happens to be right next to the central bus station and taxi rank. For those of you who have never driven in Francistown, I can't begin to describe the experience. The sheer volume of traffic, mutatus and taxis ... and NO-ONE was giving way to anyone. The whole area was grid-locked for ages. The mentality of these guys - and yes they are nearly all men - is completely Neandethal. All they need is a stone club to knock each other on the head and they would be well away! For readers who have lived in Rwanda - think Kigali Market Square at 11am on a Saturday - to the power 10!!!
To give you an idea of the kind of vehicles we see ... look at the first pic. The second one is the Veyron (drool!) But you don't see too many of those in Francistown :-)
