Zimbabwe - one side

We entered Zimbabwe from Mozambique into Mutare and crossed through the mountain area to Masvingo and Bulawayo before leaving into Francistown, Botswana. Zimbabwe has to very different sides, therefore two entries. The unfortunately more famous side is the negative side due to the current political situation. There is incredible inflation (over 3000%!!!) which makes you walk around with a huge amount of paper which is worth nothing (50 USD were 1 Billion Zimb Dollar) and even less if you keep it till the next day! In addition there is a shortage of pretty much everything. Supermarkets are empty, gas for cars is very rare which causes public transport to dry up and leaving hitching often the only option and and and... Elections are upcoming in 2 weeks (24h propanda is running on TV, incredible) and there was a certain tension mixed with hope in the air. Let's see how it turns out. Hopefully peaceful!
