Botswana is where I will begin my travel. I will get there by taking a plane from Saint John, New Brunswick to Toronto, Ontario and then taking a flight from Toronto to London, United Kingdom, and then going from there to Gaborone, Botswana.

Places to avoid in Botswana: There are no places to avoid. Normal safety precautions should be exercised. Places to see in Botswana: The National Museum and Art Gallery, Mokolodi Nature, Reserve, Gaborone Game Reserve

Here is Botswana on a map,

Day 1: I am in my hotel called the Cresta President Hotel; I am unpacking my bags getting ready for my days in Botswana. I rented a car from the Travel Wise travel office and will be using it going to see the National Museum and Art Gallery tomorrow.

Day 2: I am driving to the Museum and I can hardly wait, I hope to get great photos with the camera I packed. I have just arrived at the museum, the Museum is packed with amazing things such as this piece made by he collective quilting group of women in Gaborone, Botswana.

And here is another one that shows how some people were buried with pottery to reflect religious beliefs.

I'm just getting back from my trip to the museum and I still amazed by some of the thing I saw. If there is one place to go in Botswana this is it.
