... of the gorge, which was a grueling climb and balancing act on shady stick ladders. At the top we drank a celebratory beer and recounted our adventure to anyone who would listen. Even Vinnie, Babyface, and Captain Carnage thought the flip was "huge." <br><br>That evening we went on the sunset cruise, which also involved an open bar. We saw hippos for the first time, hung out with some South Africans on a business trip, met all of the Peace Corps volunteers in Southern Africa, and ...

... 8217;t have much of that. What I have is going quickly. Of course I can&#8217;t help imagining all the cool ways I might be dying, especially since this H-5-in-1 multi-purpose virus is all the rage. Or maybe I&#8217;ve got the original H-1-in-1. I like birds better than pigs any way. Or I could have something entirely new, like maybe buy-1-get-1-free. Oh Hell, just give me whatever&#8217;s on sale. I&#8217;m not picky.<br><br>Fortunately on many ...

... Neil had to change some of his currency into Zambian Kwacha, and now we know what it is like to be a millionaire. Spar would have taken ZAR Rand but at a very low exchange rate and the shop assistant advised us to go to the money exchange shop that was near too.<br><br>Maramba River Lodge is on the Mosi-oa-Tunya Road and is very pleasant. The campsite only has 6 pitches and we think we had the best pitch because we had booked in ...

... piloting the microlight for a while!) with the Falls in the background. This meant that I could concentrate and enjoy the majesty of the scene below me. Yes, on land you can only see the Zambia side of the Falls which was only 1/4 of the total width so from above I could see the Zimbabwe side as well. Words won't explain what I enjoyed so will let the photos do the talking later. The light was great. The pilot told me that the best time to see it during the rainy season ...

... and a female, we were allowed to pat the female but not the male. There were 3 specialist handlers with them who spend most of the day with them. We were also given sticks so we could play with them. While they were resting in the shade we had them licking our hands and got to have photos taken. It is really amazing just how close they will let you get, and just how much they are massive cats! Their tongue feels just like a ...

... a town called Livingstone. We couldn't have asked for a better location as the falls were literally in the backyard of the hotel! Once we checked in, a very informative concierge informed us all about the facilities and the surroundings of the hotel, and even told us that we could walk all the way over to the Zimbabwe side of the falls if we wanted to - all we needed to bring was our room key and the hotel card and we would be let through. There was no need for ...

I wanted to see the falls before leaving here. It was lucky to stay near the falls and I had a chance to see again. It's 6:30am., and check-out time is 10:00am. I didn't have so much time. I packed my baggage and had a digital steel camera, and video camera, passort and some money. When I went out the hotel's gate, I met a private security of national park and he lead to me for the park. He said me whether go to Zambia. Of course I need ...

Rachel and I decided to take our lives into our own hands and crossed over to Zambia two days running. There we took part in the 'Adrenaline day' where we did crazy things such as abseiling, ziplining, rap-jumping (abseiling forwards - very scary) and a gorge swing. It was loads of fun but I don't think I have ever been as scared as when I did the rap-jump and the gorge swing. The swing was more fun than a bungee jump though. I even did it twice, once alone and once in tandem with ...
