Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

We arrived here without much hassle at the border.  They hit us for every tax imaginable...but it didn't convert to very much and we were able to find a use for our Botswanan Pula ($).  Driving in from the border was very lonely.  There must have only been three vehicles on the road besides us.  We've heard that there's a major gas shortage here...luckily we filled up before we crossed the border and only went through a quarter tank on the way here.  The streets in town are very quiet compared to what Beth had seen eight years ago.  Imagine South Beach deserted and that is what this town has become....We are relaxing at the backpackers for the rest of today and tonight.  Tomorrow, we're going to hike around the park and see the falls in the morning.  In the afternoon, we want to get tea and crumpets at the Victoria Falls Hotel.  Our big splurge this trip, for our second honeymoon.  Hopefully we will see more hippos on a boat cruise at sunset.

Maybe Erik will be convinced to try some Mupani worms for dinner tonight...  :)
