No1. Ladies Opera House

I have a small confession to make. I perhaps wrote Gaborone off too early as having "no eating establishments". It's true that there are not many - but there are a few - hidden behind the desert scrub, over cattle grids and down dusty roads seemingly going nowhere. If you follow one of these roads on a beautiful spring Sunday morning you might happen upon the No1. Ladies Opera House.
Open from 10am-2pm serving a Buffet-style brunch complete with eggs and bacon made to order, waffles, cheese, scones tea, coffee and Mimosa's for those in a celebratory mood.
Turns out we were in the mood for a celebration. Allison, my new house-mate, was having a birthday. No oven in our temporary house so instead a cake was designed from elaborately stacked "Chocolate Crackles". Happy Birthday's were sung, toasts were made and then we got onto the business of passing a sunny Sunday afternoon in Gabs.
