A Bit of Zimbabwe, Mozambique 1970's and a thought on the downfall of another Narcissist.

Travelling through Mozambique to Beira....a bit of Gorongoza Game Reserve....a smidgen of Chimanimani Mountains, Harare, and Templeton Ranch near Kildonan (Banket) The video was entirely shot by Ken Rogers....my Dad.

Villa Machado on the road to Beira.....the Zoo in Beira with the Zoo Keeper whose ass was so big you could have used it as a table. The Wreck at the Estoril and the Pastille do Natta cakes at all the cafe's in the town.

It's all a bit Tony Soprano........................it's just that this gang have the country as the country retreat. God bless Bob.
