Jogging

To be healthy and sporty, we volunteers have found a new way to enjoy the bright mornings of Zimbabwe: There is a lovely hill nearby, from which you have a magnificent view on the surroundings and to which you can actually jog/walk to. The route itself is rather funny as you meet many children going to school in far too warm school uniforms if you consider their walking distance(up to 7km) as well as shouting Kombi drivers(the equivalent to our busses, except that they have all the same price, are seriously packed and don't really follow any timetable). As a murungu(White) you are of course greeted by most people.

Then when one leaves the street and starts to follow up the short path up the hill, there are only a few lonely church meeting places left and maybe one or two devout believers, whose chants are an interesting alternative to Beyonce as running music. My favourite part about the route is the distance, because it isn't very long ;) But seriously, that is a great bonus for us poor people, who are unused to having the sky so close to them (Harare lies at a height of 1483 meters).
