Livingstone Letter

31 Dec 2019 163
There is a small and very interesting museum in Livingstone. It includes one room dedicated to the famous Dr himself, containing a variety of personal items, as well as a thorough run down on the man, the myth, and the facts. The most interesting items, we felt, were the collection of original letters, on glass slides. Unfortunately, he had a very stereotypical "doctor's handwriting"! We did struggle to read the contents, but nonetheless, felt good at making out snippets.

Eating Mopane Worms

Well, they're actually caterpillars. We have seen them mentioned a couple of times, and we found a place that had them on a platter of very appetising alternatives, meaning we got to try them without committing to a whole meal. I felt they tasted a bit like fish - something like mild anchovies, or maybe like fried whitebait. They weren't the best thing we ever ate, but they were passable. Might not order them again, but glad we gave them a go.
