Livingstone & the Victoria Falls

You can hear the thunder of the falls before you see the spray & you can see the spray as you drive down from Livingstone's high street, over 3 miles away. At 1.3kms long & 108 metres high - the Vic Falls are truly awe inspiring.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Falls

The truck checked us into the Waterfront camp site (aptly named by it's location), from where we've arranged a multitude of activities from gentle cruises to gorge swinging. I'd really wanted to white water raft the Zambezi but with the rainy season being in full effect elsewhere in Africa the water levels are too high to raft.

It felt so good to step out of the truck with the knowledge that the next 4 days will be spent chilling out with no driving. The past few days have taken their toll on most peoples sense of humour & it's a credit to everyones tolerance & good nature that there haven't been any arguments or fallings out.

To chill out, we headed up the Zambezi river on an evening dinner cruise. The sunset was simply stunning even if a we did have a couple of uninvited guests join us
