Victoria Falls

We are in the heart of Africa. The town of Livingstone, Zambia, is very near Victoria Falls. We went there today with three friends we met on the road. The falls did not disappoint. They were spectacular. The water level of the Zambezi is quite high which made the view amazing. One is able to get very close to things as there are no guard rails like there are in Canada. We took many, many pictures. Putting on our ponchos we walked along a path and crossed a foot bridge where the water was running several inches deep due to the mist from the falls. It was like a hard rain. At the end of the trail we could see Zimbabwe but Robert Mugabe wasn't waving back at us. Near the entrance there were some baboons. One got quite agressive and was trying to grab women's purses. I speculated that he'd learned that women carried things to eat in them. A park employee chased him away. This was a fantastic day. Tomorrow we are scheduled to do a walking safari and are supposed to get up close to the animals. Should be exciting. Sunday we are boarding a bus for Namibia. The adventure continues.
