Zambia

My 90 days ended on Saturday so we high tailed it out of the country. Gerwim (dutch, hospital renovator), Rhona (English doctor), mom and me. Long, long, long bus trips across Zambia (two full days of buses) and we arrived in Livingstone after dark on Sunday. Monday we visited Victoria Falls and it was amazing. There is so much water as we are at the end of rainy season that the mist had been upgraded to a deluge. Our view of the falls was never quite complete since there was so much spray but it was awe inspiring. As you passed the first lookout there was a stand to rent ponchos, raingear and plastic shoes but we decided that it probably wouldn’t help anyway. You could see the mist coming toward you and getting harder. I was wetter than I ever thought I could be. Completely drenched would be an understatement. At one point you cross a bridge and the water comes from every angle—up, down, sideways and you can’t see anything. There were many rainbows from all angles. I don’t know what else to say. At the top of the falls there are signs that warn you about being careful if you feel like trying to cross the river—no barriers just a warning sign…
