August 15th

Had a great sleep in our tents - on stretcher beds, very comfortable. We met for breakfast and then at 9.30am we got two taxis to Victoria Falls, about 7 km's away. Paid our entry fees, then got a guide and went into the park.
We walked to the various parts of the Falls. It is a magnificent sight, with a lot of spray - the water falls down into a narrow gorge and spray splashes back up. The day was quite warm at about 26 degrees. We walked over the bridge separating Zambia from Zimbabwe and placed our feet in Zimbabwe.
We taxied back and had a late lunch, or rather each couple shared a burger and chips since the portions were so large. Then a siesta before a very brisk swim in the camp pool.   It's fair to say it was quite cool, despite the hot sun.
Tomorrow we are all taking a helicopter flight over the falls.
At present the order of the day is having Sundowners (drinks) on the banks of the Zambesi in the late afternoon sun. Just what holidaying in Africa should be about.
