Flying over the falls, I
saw the bungy jump and I thought it would be cool if I did it, but as soon as I
saw someone jump of the highest bungie jump in the world I had second thoughts.
Now there is no words to explain how amazing the falls are, and how many stupid
people there are around the falls. First thing I saw, was 2 people walking
along the edge of the 80m-drop spear fishing. Because Victoria Falls is a
national park there are lots of baboons around and I saw some idi...
... some of the last remaining parks and conservancies left in an ever changing part of the world. The wild life was spectacular! Elephants abounded as did Zebra and Giraffe. Hippos and water buffalo aplenty. Lions were also to be seen, one morning we even witnessed the carnage a pride had inflicted on a small Giraffe the ...
Southern Africa, Southern, Zambia audiomike... on another walk but a few of us decided to chill instead - I made friends with another camp dog (again, becoming a regular thing). A (after I helped ice and bandage his ankle), C and I had beers and read a South African Cosmopolitan magazine together stunned at some of the titles of the articles and having a good laugh.
The next day we were off to Rainbow Camp, back in Namibia. We needed to cross back in order to not be driving through water and sand for 2 weeks and ...
... on because we had to clip in and scale the side of two bridges before arriving safely on land. The men loved us so much that they offered us another jump for free. Our legs had still not stopped shaking so we turned their offer down. Sarah was a little too scared for the bungee jump so decided to zip line instead.
After the jump we all started to walk back to Victoria Falls. The man that held the fence up so we could climb under had been hassling us to ...
... of the performance so afraid I didn’t. Still you will all just have to go to Zambia and see them for yourselves, you will enjoy the performance I can assure you.
Our Zambian camps have all been so different and beautiful in their own way. It is a country we would definitely like to visit again, the people are outstanding and so open with their hospitality. The scenery is not as awesome as Namibia but the wildlife is so natural and still wild. Next stop Botswana.
... mass chaos trying. We'll see.
Did some brick-laying for my afternoon project today. It was building the same school I worked on Monday. Once I got used to the very rickety scaffolding I was okay. The local men we were working with thought I was funny at first because they could tell I was nervous. We all laughed.
We had some traditional Zimbabwe dancers come to ...
... was glad that the exit gate was still open at 6:15 pm when I left, as there was no security guard to let me out otherwise.
I had written my 3rd post card in 3 weeks while awaiting sunset, so I jogged to the post office from the national park to mail it. I really did not want to fend off any more curio sellers, beggars, hustlers, or the like, so I had no patience for a young guy with a wood carving in one hand who started jogging alongside me ...
Without John Cleese present, we arrived at Fawlty Towers after a pleasent journey by coach from Lusaka.
We had royal treatment on the coach as we splashed out on Business class (2 pounds more).
Fawlty towers is a twin to the backpackers place we stayed at in Lusaka. Its very nice and would ...
... micro-gliding over the Falls. I am terrified but Rocko really wants to do it so it should be a great experience.
Tonight is our last night with a lot of the people in our group. We split into those who are travelling to Jo'berg and those of us going to Cape Town. For our last dinner we are heading into a restaurant to celebrate.
Tomorrow we leave and head to Botswana.
Love and miss everyone

... call that there are lions so we head off and join about another ten 4x4s all vying for a position to see the lions. We realise that they are stalking some warthogs which are grazing nearby so we sit with cameras glued to our faces for about ten minutes waiting for the kill, but it's ruined at the last moment by the overly excited lion cubs who give away the females position and the ...
