ZIMBABWE-VIC FALLS

21-03-07
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Day 20,21,22

3.30am! That's what time we woke up to get ready to leave Valeries!

And the night before we had a really late night! Watching The River on SATV! We thought we'd have the day to go to the Museum, relax, reflect and think about this wonderful city before we left.

Except we got our flights all confused and only realised at...2am! Fancy realising at 2am that instead of sleeping in till 10, at check-out, cos we'd enjoyed a late night, that we had to be up in another hour and a half! Not funny!

We arrived in Zimbabwe on Human Rights Day! A South African public holiday. And were reminded of it as we left Cape Town, arrived in Johannesburg and took off to Victoria Falls. People were celebrating it and Nelson Mandella was mentioned more than once!

We had to get our tickets reticketed at Joburg because we changed our flights so that took an hour and we finally arrived in this magical place, Victoria Falls!

MAGICAL!!! We went see the Falls as soon as we checked in to our hotel, which was gorgeous. The Kingdom Hotel, on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia. Very majestic, yet old and in need of renovation. But i doubt that will be happening any time soon..

I will have to finish this in Madrid...time's out here at Joburg airport. I'm going to spend a couple of hours updating when we get there...i'm dying to tell you about our WILD CANOE TRIP ON THE ZAMBEZIE!!!

Happy Birthday David! ENJOY YOUR DAY!! :)
