... we got into vic falls and went on a walk with the lions. That was freakin cool....mom and i and Lavan spent the afternoon petting and walking with 18 month old lion cubs...but 18 month old means full grown and HUGE. But they are so awesome...they are like puppies or kittens...very very playful. you have to hold a stick and use it to distract them because when tey want to play they will wrap their arms around ...

... night though we had a yummy dinner in the Casino. T finally got a chance to call home on Skype, which has been bloody hard to do since Zanzibar. Our last day included a helicopter flight for T over the falls while Littleman had an Adrenaline day (stuff like gorge swings). We finished the day finally visiting the falls themselves – very impressive.

There’s been a bit of a bug going through the truck and we’d avoided it ...

... Delta is still very dry at this time of year and I'm feeling as dry as I've ever been...much like Taos.

Don\t quote me on this but I think Russell said it was 5000 years ago when a seismic event caused the area now known as the Okavango delta to basically drop and trap the flowing river into the northern area of Botswana. The story is much more complicated than that, obviously, but it is worth knowing. http://en ...

... a couple of ciders on the Mokoro and watched the world coast by. We saw hippos and croc's at quite close range which was fun, scary and breath taking all at the same time.

From the delta we headed to Chobe where we did a sun set river cruise through the national park, this is what holidays are all about! We grabbed an eski and some drinks and then got driven down to the river, and jumped on our ...

... were not in attendance that day, so I am disappointed I didn't get an individual photo with them - but I'm pretty sure I do have a photo of every student in some form.

After photos and the beginning of class my teacher and I passed out the exercise books and mechanical pencils. I had to explain how to use the pencils. I told them they were pencils that didn't need to be sharpened! And showed them how to click the leads in and out. When it was time for the students to so their ...

... equally terrifying as the drop is 111 meters but what a thrill. Sure I'll do it again somewhere. In the afternoon we visited the falls where you really do get absolutely soaked, it's amazing how much water that gets sprayed up.

The next day was rafting down the Zambezi which started of slow but got pretty good. I managed to fall out once ...

Hi everyone. So today I've had lots of contact with lions as well as education but i don't heve pics to add yet so let me tell you more of what I've learned about social welfare in Zambia Wednesday morn I went to a meeting at the House of Moses to discuss the upcoming field trip. Sandra the director wanted me to come but we didn't discuss it much bc it was a regular staff meeting. It did however give me a chance to see the inner ...

... so should be very pleased with themselves. Also had beer club shirts made up for those of us in that. We all pitched in and bought Mum and Jay one - Jay with "Spicy Drinker" on the back, Mum "Bar Dancer". The rest of us being merely "Drinkers" or for Suze and Muzza "Trainee". With all the drinking and sightseeing we took time out one evening and headed for a massage, manicure, pedicure in the grounds of a hostel. It was lovely. They even shaved your feet with a razor ...
