According to all sources, Botswana's winter (May to August) is "is also the dry season when virtually no rainfall occurs. Winter days are invariably sunny and cool to warm" well this has NOT been the case. It started raining Monday night and hasn't let up yet. All the rain has made getting around Gabs quite interesting:
-Less than stellar windshield wipers make it virtually impossible for the driver to see where is he going
-Added to that is the fact that either the the defrost doesn't work or is just not used. You can imagine how steamed up a combi can get with 16-20 damp people crammed in.
-The combi drivers already have little respect for pedestrians and with the rain it is worse as one can become thoroughly soaked as the combi pulls up splashing through huge puddles
-Wet, slick roads+erratic drivers makes for an "interesting" drive to work
Hopefully the rain will stop soon, in the mean time I just prayer that I will arrive safely at my destination

Sounds like Salt Lake this week, well not the Combi's, but the rain for sure! Good luck with staying dry!
ReplyDeleteRain, rain, go away. It has rained almost every day for the past 10 days. Poky is beautifully green but we are ready for the SUN.
