I’m going back to Zimbabwe in just over a month – and I can’t wait. When I reach Zimbabwean soil, what’s the first thing I want to do? The problem is that I can’t pick just one thing – there are too many.

So … time for a list.

I’ve done some of the things on this list before and just want to do them again. Some of them have huge significance to me. Some are things I really should have done a long time ago. Some are just vague aspirations that could come true in a hundred different ways.

I’ll keep the list short here – and when I’ve completed something, I’ll hyperlink to the details … stay tuned!

My holiday bucket list:

• Eat a huge plate of Mozambican prawns
• Go gorge swinging over the Zambezi River
• Buy a hand-painted tablecloth at Doone Estate
• Buy a vase from Kiki’s
• Visit Harare City Library
• Have tea at Bulawayo Club
• See the view from Camp Amalinda
• Go bream fishing
• See the miniature ponies at Nesbitt castle
• Climb a big rock
• Watch a sunrise
• Watch a sunset
• Eat sadza ne relish
• Get away from it all
• Hang with the cool kids at Mbare Muskia
• Eat raw sugarcane
• Have a Tropicana orange
• Meet someone new and learn something from them
• See the art at Gallery Delta
• Meet Sylvester the cheetah

PS – Yes, I am slightly embarrassed at how many things on my list are related to food.
