5 Things To Do When You're Stuck at a Border Crossing in Africa

Ah, yes, the Mozambique border... Hot, humid, no place to sit, and did I mention the guard at the gate with the uzi? Ok, I'll cease the drama, and while the former sentence is all true it was just a really, really long wait. No pain and suffering, no problems, no close-calls or near-misses. Just heat and waiting and sweat and sweaty tired kids and are we there yet?....

1. Bring a snack
2. Bring water
3. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes
4. Have a sense of humor
5. Don't be in a hurry
