Our first stop on Day 4 was The Great Zimbabwe Monument, a World Heritage Site, which gave its name to the country in 1980. We had a guided tour (in the pouring rain) and learned a great deal about the 13-14th century construction of the site and about the life of the king, his 200 wives and the 2,500+ men and women who lived in the walled city. She also told us about their ceremonies of male circumcision and female virginity tests. Harry said these customs still exist in the tribes today!
