Part of life returning back to normal is hanging out in News Cafe, because of their fabulous American Iced Coffee and free wireless Internet. And whenever we have lunch in the city with Tears and Andre, we seem to end up there. Creamy pasta Vesuvius, beef burger & salad, stir fried chicken & veggies, and a spinach, mushroom, mozzarella wrap with fries - Bram & Maud really had to keep their dinner-appointment in mind...
Mien (who runs the Dutch consulate) and Bernard (who leads the Botswana University geology department) invited us over for 'een borrel en een prak'. To call Mien's vegetarian moussaka a 'prak' is far from the truth; it's a culinary achievement! (Note the Boerebont cutlery, a traditional Dutch design.) After the chocolate chip ice & fruit salad we almost couldn't move home anymore.
The Dutch consulate in Botswana by the way is by far the friendliest representation we ever encountered. Where else can you just walk in, get more help than expected, and coffee & catching up on top?
