Gaborone is a bit of a sleepy town (which according to my bro is true of Philly too). There are no cabs to hail on the street like would be true of any big American city, only privately arranged taxis and public transport with "combis," mini-bus type vehicles on fixed routes throughout the city that carry 15 people and cost a few pula (less than a dollar). I was surprised to learn that after 9pm it can also be challenging to find a driver, so I got an early start tonight and headed out to a popular expat hangout, The Yacht Club, to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sun set on the horizon above the Gaborone Dam on the Notwane River. In the picture you make out a distant outline of the same double humped Kgale Hill. After enjoying the sunset, we headed out around 8pm for an unusually late dinner at Chutney, an Indian restaurant and one of our favorites. The driver afterwards said he was feeling very "sleepy" - not surprising at all!
