The Incident

Jessica and I were robbed. There is not a simple way to start a post like this.

While in Zim, at our hostel, there is a salon. All of us have said multiple times that we would kill for a pedicure. So when we were appraoced by the manager of the salon for a mani, pedi, and massage if seemed ideal. Well turns out they are good at their jobs, we had a very relaxing time, but they pilfered through out walled while we were there. We shoul have seen it coming. Their boss came up after our massage and they asked us not to tell her that we had gotten massages. They said she had not paid them in 2 months so they were taking some money on the side. Upon relfection this is a major cluse as to how the rest of our "relaxation" was going to go.

Anyways, when we got to the Botswana / Zim border we pulled out our wallets to pay Starr. But I have no US dollars left, and Jessica was 50 short. They got a total of 90 from us. Which annoyed me a bit. But I am trying to look at it like they are desperate and did what they had to do. Jessica was just mad. It was only $40 from me. Thank goodness, I had been paying cash for most things.
