This acclimatising business is such hard work.....

breakfast by the pool and then a short drive to Mosi o Tunya, (the Smoke that Thunders in Lozi,) otherwise known as Victoria Falls and if anything lives up to its own publicity this does.



Awesome doesn`t begin to cover it. In any event most of the time we were rendered speechless by the roar and the fact that we got drenched in the spray.

Couldn`t quite understand why anyone felt it necessary to chuck themselves off the bridge over the gorge



even if they were attached to elastics.

It felt like enough of an adventure to negotiate the footbridge that was running in water whilst simultaneously getting hit by a horizontal deluge


but hey-ho, each to his own. Sartorially challenged maybe but very happy



we returned to town and after a late lunch...by the pool....


we strolled into town and found ice cream and, of course, good coffee!!

So that`s it folks - fully acclimatised: tomorrow we start work. Honest!!

  1. Wow doesn't quite cover it watching from UK so what that must all feel like from actually being there I can't quite imagine! Brava ladies. Speaking as one who suffers badly from vertigo I admire how close you came to the edge of those magnificent falls. Have a good first book day and do a few lengths for me in that pool which looks heavenly. Sunny today but not quite Zambian temperatures! All love Axx
