BASILICO - Italian restaurant

Gaborone Reservoir in Botswana, Africa, is surrounded by mountains, with rocks along the coast and blue water, like a sea.
Gaborone, the capital of Botswana, is relatively dry and water-deficient, and relies on this reservoir for daily water supply.
You can do some water activities when you come to the yacht club. I happened to see a person standing up and paddling quickly in the water, like a reed crossing the river. He might be Chinese.
There is also a restaurant located on a hill by the water, with a wide view. The whole reservoir and mountains are in full view, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. According to the domestic operating ideas, if you don&rsquo;t sell some special reservoir fish in the reservoir, isn&rsquo;t it a waste of natural resources? There is really no such thing here. But at the fork of the road outside the entrance, locals sell catfish and carp.
The price is affordable, Hawaiian pizza is 115 pula (61RMB), beer is 28 pula (15RMB), Sex On the Dam cocktail is 90 pula (48RMB), and a tip of about 10% is paid. The pizza is freshly made and baked, and the taste is good. But because I am not a member of the yacht club, I need to pay an additional 20 pula (11 RMB) per person.
I also encountered two small animals flashing by, with brown fur, fluffy and chubby. I thought they were marmots or otters. I asked the waiter and found out that they were rock rabbits, a kind of rabbit that lives among rocks. It looks slightly different from hares and feels cuter and more lovely. I also found a lot of round rabbit feces around.
