Zimbabwe - Victoria Falls Hotel


Zimbabwe is pretty much a shithole. Sorry Zimbabwe. You can tell immediately how much more depressed the economy of Zimbabwe is than the neighboring countries Zambia and Botswana. They abandoned their country's currency recently due to hyperinflation and now just use the American dollar, which they are clearly trying to apply their habits of inflation to. Unfortunately, assuming that the country doesn't just start producing counterfeit US dollars (which I wouldn't put past them, honestly), they'll quickly run out of currency to exchange. A total mess.
The hotel we stayed was clearly the nicest hotel in Zimbabwe, and from appearance is quite attractive. The management was horrible, though, and the rooms were as well. There was a solid day's worth of fun things to do in Zimbabwe. Unfortunately we were there for three days.
