In the footsteps of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency

Gaborone, the capital of Botswana, is the setting for the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency books, by Alexander McCall Smith. I stayed at the President Hotel, where the main character, Mma Ramotswe, often has Saturday tea (bush tea, also known as Rooibos) on the veranda. I ate breakfast at the corner table set aside for her.

Later I had a tour of some of the places in Gaborone mentioned in the books. I looked for her tiny white van, but did not see it.
