Well, we got up a bit sleepy but excited and were waiting outside the motel 15 minutes early. The white van pulls in and our energetic guide Heidi come out to meet us hand outstretched.

... Camps in Zambia. She also knew everything about the geology of the place - probably the smartest person we have met on this trip. About one hour into the trip, Pooh's hands started getting very cold. While we were in the sun, everything was fine, but in the shadow of the mountain, it got a little cold for her. Once we got on shore to see Bridal Veil Falls, our guide gave Pooh and hand warmer and some extra clothes to keep her warm on the way back. The falls were very ...

Not quite the private camping we ever did as kids. Anyhow after a slow morning we head out to the playground for a bit and then off to Seward (or at least what I presumed was Seward) down by the docks. Browsed ...

We hiked to the top of a mountain at 1700 ft. We climbed through, across and up waterfalls, down a ...
