Frankie's Travels - Day 1 complete onto Day 2

So we arrived in Gaborone on a thrilling bumpy flight. We took off a little late too. The plane taxied the entire runway and then I think the pilot said "there is this funny flashing light here - we're going to get some one to take a look at it"... But I am sure what he actually said was a lot more professional .... Right?...

Anyway, Gaborone may look small and peaceful and spaced out but the traffic is a NIGHTMARE!!! Imagine a highway with big traffic circles every few km's... Bad Traffic!

Anyway we booked in at our coushy hotel - I used my cunning engineers intuition to drop my bags off in my room (swipe the card in every possible orientation until the cleaning lady helps you :D ) and we zipped off (or first geared for 30 min) to our meeting.

After all the horrendous traffic, we decided to go to the hotel restuarant and half a bottle of SavBlanc and a three course buffet - I was ready to rest my weary travellers head.

Anyway we stayed in an awesome classy hotel - palm trees, free shampoo and pretty white towels included! And a kettle and free coffee in my room Awesome!

Slept like I was dead... Woke up, got packed, drank my free coffee and hurried downstairs.

I happened to misunderstand my accompanying colleague and I missed breakfast. So our intrepid traveller is now embarking on a 3 and a bit hour journey on a cup of strong coffee and sheer beginners enthusiasm! - I am going to probably want to die soon.:.. Until I see the switchyards of course!!
