vaccines at the airport. I had so much time to spare at the ferry
port, I couldn't resist trying to hitch a ride for the 15 miles to the
airport on the other side!
Tamba the driver has agreed to the lift for free because he likes
medical people, and he says it's a medical truck. Telling people
you're a student doctor gets you favours at times :) The truck's not
that medical looking. Looks more like a goat transporter or something.
Next to the ferry which we're about to drive on to is a huge rusting
hulk of an old ferry being dismantled. The harbour is full of rusting
relics, consigned to a slow watery decay. They could really do with a
ship building industry here. There's a fantastic deep water harbour.
I met a doctor just now. Private and proud. I couldn't believe some of
the shit he was coming out with! Botswana's HIV problem is due to anti
retroviral medication... What a load of crap. High prevalences in a
country that uses so much medicine that treats HIV?! Had he thought
about it, he'd have realised there were so many people with HIV
because they hadn't died yet (thanks to the medicine)! Conspiracy my
arse.
