Roadblocks in Botswana

We were stopped in Botswana:

• to be waved through: about 5x
• to find that there was no guard at the checkpoint: about 3x
• to dip our shoes in a hoof-and-mouth disease-killing solution: 3x
• to greet the guard/police officer stopping us: 3x
• to show a driver's license: 1x
• to get out of the car and pick up a safety pamphlet: 1x
• to change Rand into Pula for an officer: 1x

Let's not talk about all the cow crossings.
