Attempting to leave Zimbabwe - will they let me go? |S5 - Eps. 86|

In this episode I am trying to leave Zimbabwe, to go back to South Africa. The border I am using is still closed however. Trying to save a 3-4 day detour, I am going to give it a go. Will they let me out?

    That Zimbabwean soldier at the border was very surprised when you told him you're coming from Chimanimani riding a bike. I heard him telling the other officers saying "she is coming all the way from Chimanimani with that bike!". He actually marvelled your braveness it's unbelievable and I give you thumbs up too.

    Truck driving is a unique experience, Im glad i had the experience driving them for a while as I learnt alot about myself and life. Unfortunately people are often in a rush and forget that trucks are far bigger than their cars etc and take lot longer to slow down. you get really awesome instincts at predicting what people in cars will do before they do it to avoid squashing them when they jump infront of you! Funny enough its usually the same people who complain when their items arent on the shelves or deliveries are late lol Bikes are usually alot more aware because they understand how easily they can end up in a body bag, so they are usually as aware of their surroundings as a truck driver to avoid accidents :)
