Spent our first day at Victoria Falls in the hostel hiding from the torrential rainfall and amazing thunderstorm. All fled from our tents having delta flashbacks and checked ourselves into room accommodation. Our booze oops sorry 'sunset cruise' was eventually cancelled and we ate the worse meal ever at the hostel... missing Nicholas already! Following some dressing up (don't ask) we went to bed, dreaming of our big day tomorrow
01 We have lift off
.Sometimes it is worth getting up before the sun, for Michelle it is a half hour micro-light trip over Vic Falls. Crossed the famous bridge and managed to get a quick glimpse of the falls on the short trip to Zambia. Without a doubt her best experience, Michelle found herself free and exposed as she flew over the falls. It was the closest thing to having wings! Brilliant way to see one of the natural wonders of the world, the spray, Livingstone Island, Zambezi River and various posh hotels. Then flew over Long Island and saw giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, zebras and even a bird and her chicks in a nest. They are look pretty small from above. Having told the pilot that she'd done a few flying lessons, he let her take control, that was it, her trip was made!
Meanwhile, not so happy Liam was rafting the Grade 5+ infamous Zambezi River. He started out river boarding but after a counseling session from Dr. Dom, he stayed alive by rafting instead. When all is said and done the three lads returned bruised, broken skin, sun burnt, exhausted and sick having drank half the river.... but it was still 'the best day ever'!!
