Met with Kevin from Safari Drive to discuss our Landrover
and the rest of the trip. Looks like we
may be saying goodbye to “Thomson” as his our list of ‘snags’ is getting ever longer
and Kevin has suggested that we swop vehicles – a final decision will be made
tomorrow.
Decided to visit the Victoria Falls from the Zimbawean side
as we had been told there was not much water on the Zambian side. Got stamped out of Zambia and walked over the
bridge to Zimbawe – loads of lorries parked up waiting to get in and lots of
guys trying to sell us billion dollar Zim notes for ten US dollars (we
declined!!). From the bridge we could
see that the Zambian side of the falls were actually completely dry so were
glad we had decided to go to Zim.
The park around the falls in Zim was a lot bigger than we
had realised and you get to walk through the rain forest caused by the constant
spray from the falls. The falls
themselves were probably not quite as impressive as they would be after the
rains but they are still amazing.
With the awesome falls photographed we walked up the old and definitely very posh Victoria Falls Hotel to rewarded ourselves with a decadent cocktail sitting on their terrace (and a Zambezi beer – you have to try these things!) all paid for in US$ rather than billion dollar Zim notes.
