Victoria Falls, Zambia

Notes:

We went back to explore the falls again They were just as stunning the second time over.

What we saw:

  • Baboon
  • Vervet Monkeys
  • Zebra
  • High-stakes Negotiating for Souvenirs
  • Victoria Falls

 

 

A zebra can both mow and fertilize the lawn for you!

Below, we start the morning in Zambia with the world's best brunch. The guards on the lawn are to keep the zebras and monkeys from stealing any food. Today we decide to revisit the falls and then do a late afternoon river tour.

Above, we ventured through the raining mist to get a closer look at the falls. The mist was a little less dense today, and we could see a little more of the actual falls.

Left, look mom - no railing! We are looking from Zambia over to Zimbabwe. The basalt canyons hear look a lot like some canyons we have seen in Arizona.

We went onto the bridge above to get a better view of the falls. There was a baboon family along the road to the bridge picking up after the tourists. The view from the bridge gave you a better sense of just how wide these falls are.

Right, Just Say NO! Lots of vendors on the bridge were selling art and jewelry. Just after Donna took this shot I accept one guy's sales pitch and bought some copper bracelets. We were soon mobbed by every vendor on the bridge!

And then there was Patrick. I had passed on his bracelets earlier and when he saw me buy from a vendor from Zimbabwe he went crazy. For a minute I thought we were going to have an international incident! He followed me all the way off the bridge telling me how unfair I was.
