Non-existent:
- Milk - this one doesn't count for the whole country - this is in my experience only. When you really gotta have that hot choc, you seriously consider buying a goat.
- Tarred roads - actually, I have seen some a few hours away.
- Bridges that make you feel safe in Moremi Game Reserve
- This tortoise was almost non-existent. This guy's thanking his lucky stars for Mich's sharp eyes. He hissed at us a little. Think he didn't like me grabbing him and placing him a photo-op position. Well, little guy, deal with it.
- Doors in the loos and showers at The Old Bridge Backpackers in Maun. What a beautiful place. You drape a rope across the doorway to show that the loo is occupied, and keep your knees bent in the shower to avoid swallowing the creepers hanging over the reed wall.
- Any cheese flavoured crisps. The favoured flavour of the national population is...wait for it...Pickled Onion!
- The elephants standing in the middle of our roads, crushing our sage plants & trumpeting at us (giving us the fright of our lives).
- Emily's fund-raising Human Foosball Tournament! Almost the entire population of Maun, getting ridiculous, kicking shins, trying very hard to be THE BEST TEAM EVER! We didn't win. But we gave it our best shot and that's what counts. It's just a game, really.
- The church service at Maun's All Nations Village Church - a really fun but LONG service, with songs that leave your arms and hands aching from all the clapping and dancing.
- The Most Amazing Extra Large Chocolate Hot Cross Buns from Maun Spar - this, plus yummy (free!) coffee, made the best breakfast. These things were like, bigger than my face. Like a big moon-shaped face. Actually, like a big hot-cross bun shaped face. This is getting silly.
- Mega-holes in the road, just waiting for you to get stuck in. So what if we need to radio for help? You know, even Bear Grills needs a little hand sometimes. Sometimes.
