Day 2 Victoria Falls

Today, we went to the Falls. We arrived at about 9am and paid R160.00 pp to get into the park. This was the discounted rate - see being a South African passport holder DOES have some advantages! We walked through the forest and rounded the corner, where we saw a statue of David Livingston. We then took a few steps forward and what greeted us was possibly the most magnificent sight that I have ever seen. The Falls were in full force, crashing over the edge of the cliff. The spray is so powerful that you need a raincoat and umbrella so that you do not get soaked (however we were drenched, but it is all part of the experience!). We walked the full length of the park and finished at the railway bridge.







We spent the rest of the afternoon by the pool.


At about 3pm we were picked up to go cruising on the mighty Zambezi River. We met so many new people and laughed so much that this was one of my favourite moments on this trip.









We ended our day with a scrumptous 4 course dinner with our new friends Pete & Rosemary.
