... and 20 minutes in Pandora pond and of we went to the Mohaka river. I s>>t myself.
Today Robin and myself decided we would do the 50/50 deal.
This was 50 percent rafting and 50 percent boogie boarding. It sounded good until the guide said that we would be doing grade 5 rapids on the boogie board, this is the Zambizie river. One grade 5 rapid was like a hydro slide (5 meter drop) the rest i cant remember. What a laugh. 24 rapids ranging from ...

... learnt was the biggest Lizzard found in Southern Africa .........the Water Monitor Lizard ...........and a Beast it was............this huge Dinosaur flashed me a look and then just as quickly disappeared into the undergrowth..............
Where the hell am i i thought! im in a crazy place where the wildlife is running amok! and all i have for protection is this flimsy tent! .........the noise through my tent at night as i fell alsleep was deafening .......as the forest came alive ...

... scream one of the girls who had inadvertently smiled at a monkey
(baring your teeth is viewed as aggressive behaviour) who had a baby clinging
to her back.. the crazy monkey thought the girl was a threat and charged.. I
shouted run and sprang into action heading between the monkey and the girl who
by now was screaming again.. 2 other monkeys joined in on the fun and they
flanked me.. I grabbed both of my shoes and ...

... service this time around was completely useless, a big difference since we had lunch there.

September 1st – Lazy day writing up the last week in the journal. Should have left today, but Chris can’t drive for a stiff shoulder. So he’s walking around doing a Naploean impression. Would’ve gone back to do a bunji jump, but not with a bad experience of yesterdays attempted jump.

2nd – Drove towards South Luangwa National Park ...

... br>Brittany and Lindsey had planned to bungee jump at Victoria Falls over the Zambezi River. We saw the bungee jumping bridge from afar and followed the path that appeared to be leading to the bridge. At the end of the path there was a man and he asked us if we wanted to bungee jump. We told him that we did so he lifted up a metal fence and told us to climb under it. After spending too much in Egypt, this did not seem at all sketchy to us so we climbed under the ...

... all in competition. The festival even includes bands from Ireland and Sweden, but I could do without that. The Irish stuff is good, though I’ve heard it all before, but the Swedes just don’t get it, never have, just like ABBA, derivative dreck derivative of derivative dreck. It spoils my African mood. I’m not drunk enough, not at all, though I appreciate the African stuff and the fact that they bought my self-proclaimed journalist’ ...

... that afternoon once we had arrived and set up camp to attempt ourselves to drive these canoes…. So game was on!! Me and Letitia (my fellow Aussie ginger) got tips from the guides, did some stretches and were ready to beat the boys….. so rules were no prior practice, go out and around the island in pairs, once half way swap poler and then back into shore! You cannot possibly imagine the carnage 6 of these canoes could create…. People were ...

... we had an open question and answer session about me, the United States and religion. Zambia is a Christian nation, and I am not sure how much they learn about other religions. The students had so many questions about world religions that I did my best to answer and in the process I taught them the word “diversity”. The children have been very responsive to all of us in their classes. It has been a blessing to watch the ...

... with 3 others.

We also found out that the two lads that didnt return from the boat cruise were arrested and spent the night in a zambian cell. The did some damage to the boat aswell. The broke the stering column and snapped all the locks to the spirit lockers. They were asked for 10,000 US by the cops but in true african style it came down to 100US each.. but get this.. they still would not pay it as they thought they were right.. idiots... still ...
