... level depends a lot on the weather, and the other morning when it was cool and rainy and thundering, they were romping around like crazy. Some were too frightened of the thunder to be safe to walk. After the thunder stopped, we went out to get them and they were cavorting in their drinking pond and wrestling and climbing trees in the enclosure and generally having a good time. As a result, they were absolutely covered in mud -- not much like ...

... the gorge swing involves swinging out over the gorge in a harness, but the truly terrifying part is that you start out at a point where the cables aren't taut yet, so that you free-fall for a couple of seconds before you feel the cables and start to swing. It may have been the scariest couple of seconds of my life! Clive didn't want to do any of these ...

We crossed the border from Botswana and arrived in Livingstone today. The border crossing was uneventful, despite it being an extremely busy border with trucks lined up on the Botswana side of the river waiting for the ferry, and I got the visa for my volunteer program without a problem. Our campground is actually a couple of kilometers outside of town, but it's well equipped with a restaurant and internet cafe.<br><br>We ...

... we didn&#8217;t know this then. <br><br>When we got closer Kathy had joined us and we took pictures of the water falling over standing closer to the edge. Then Lance and the Irish and Mark all came. I could see Gabe was really uncomfortable with my closeness to the edge and since it was 11:45 and time to be heading back anyway I quickly left although I would have loved to continue going further to the other waterway. <br><br ...

... and we were made very welcome by all of them. All adventure activities in the Livingstone area can be booked through the Lodge, and the chalets are really nice.<br><br>The campsite doesn&#8217;t have any facilities so we were allocated a chalet to use for bathroom facilities and very nice it was too, and continuous hot water plus we could use the fridge and electric points and we were given a bathroom pack (shampoo, shaving kit, dental kit etc) nicely ...

... being too disruptive in class (&amp; who to take the photos). With only a few students at school when we arrived I decided this was an opportunity. I asked my fellow volunteer Natalie (after first trying to teach one of my students how to use the camera) to take photos for me. Getting them to understand only one at a time and everyone would get a turn was also a bit of a challenge. As the children arrived, I took a photos with them. It worked out pretty well. A couple of the ...

... to just want to touch my hands and arms and look at how white they are. We also talked about my "spots," though I don't think they really understood anything I said. But, they did try and repeat every word. An older child came over and said something about my head. I asked if they wanted to touch my hair (it was pulled up in a bum while I was working), so I let it down. They were all very excited and my hair got a good petting.

... made them baby smooth though. Pedicure and 1 hr massage was US$25. In an effort to clear out some locker space we sent some stuff home, wooden statues, Moroccan blanket etc. Getting to the post office I was approached by two men offering to pack the goods... hmmm not sure I like this. But the post office dude wouldn't take it unless it was properly packed so no choice really. They wanted US$15, I said they could have 10 and no more. So they took me down this dodge little ...
