This barge is on the border crossing from Zambia and Botswana. Does look like much, does it? This is the only way for trucks to get across the Chobe River from Zambia into Botswana, also near the Nambia Border. One truck at a time, each way. I lost count after 250 trucks. At the passport control spot, we asked how long the drivers must wait to cross, and was told that it is between 10 and 14 days. DAYS. There were trucks carrying everything from Caterpillar tractors to bundles of pipe to furniture. Trucks were dust covered, and the drivers built little lives waiting for their turns - showering in their cabs, cooking meals on the side of the road. An industry had sprung up on both sides of the river, with little bars, food stalls, shops, showers. Prostitutes wandered from truck to truck in high heels and short shorts. There is a bridge going across this River, about half a mile wide at this point. It's something that the Army Corps of Engineers would have put up in a day or two. We were told, rather proudly, that it would be in fished in about five years. The business part of my brain realized what a huge economic waste this is. As usual, vendors hawked their wares, and uniformed officials took their time to stamp your passport, sanitize your shoes, and wave you on.
