Went into town at eleven (Spent the morning trying to fix the lodge's computer and writing email). Internet for less than an hour then had a huge lunch with Claudia (she's leaving tomorrow) at Mateo's.
Stopped by at a travel agent to explore my flight options up the coast. Ended up buying a ticket from Harare to Dar es Salaam with a nine day layover in Lilongwe (Malawi). It only cost me US$15 more than flying from Lilongwe to Dar es Salaam and saves me a ten plus hour bus ride (plus the cost of the bus), and the Mozambique transit visa cost. Unfortunately I have to wait in Harare until Friday to catch the plane... of course there are worse places to hang out.
Decided I wasn't going to make the four o'clock shuttle back to the lodge and decided to take care of my shipping then do some celebrating with Claudia. Went to the African Unity Square market and bought some gifts to pad the packages I'm shipping. Went by TNT and sent a kilogram parcel to my parents (my broken H/PC for repairs) and a half kilo to Steve (more photos to scan). Went back to Mateo's with Claudia for dessert and drinks. Caught a taxi back to the lodge.
