1/10

A LETTER TO MY SON by TENDAI GARWE (Sokostina)

Non- Fiction

@Sokostina poured her heart and soul into this book.

It’s letters and diary entries by a mother to her son during rehabilitation after a nasty accident that left her bedridden.

The lessons are full of wisdom, and they apply to everyone.

Thank you for baring your soul, Soko ♥️Image
@Sokostina 2/10

SHUT YOUR EYES & RUN by RAISEDON BAYA
@RaisedonB

Fiction

This is a masterpiece that deserves a world stage.

This books takes you through Zimbabwe as if it’s walking hand in hand with you.

It’s beautifully written, clearly by a seasoned writer 🤌 Image

You could go on a day trip, stop on your way, camp overnight or stay at the motel.

We went on a day trip from Harare. It's ~134 km, so it took us 1.5 h to get there.
 
The road is very good so even a small car would be fine.
 
Made a quick stop in Chinhoyi town to get supplies.

DAY 7 - THE DESCENT

Uhuru Peak - Base Camp (5 km)

High Camp - Mweka Hut Camp - Mweka Gate [18 km]

Going up took 6 days. Coming down - 1 day. ImageImageImageImage
It was everything and more 🤸‍♀️ ImageImage
We did the last 2 km in an ambulance 🚑

2 of our teammates couldn’t walk anymore. They just couldn’t walk! (I’m still laughing at them till now😂)
Their legs just wouldn’t work 😂

So the ambulance was called and we all hopped in.
