Well we are back from Victoria Falls and all I can say is that this place has to be on your bucket list! Note I have uploaded these photos without editing, that jobs is for when I'm back in the USA.
First off, here is a photo and snippet video of Victoria Falls:
Yours truly, ruining the view of the waterfalls...

Next, here's an action shot from the Jet Extreme ride we went on in the gorge, with sharp turns=5 to 7 G's. One time we did a 180 and came face to face with a 4 ft crocodile. Afterwards, we walked on the sand, and it squeaked! Yes, squeaky sand!
The following shots were all taken on the grounds of our hotel:

But wait, there's more! Here's yours truly riding an elephant (all the elephants were orphaned and taken to this rescue center, where proceeds go to the anti-poaching units in Zambia). They are incredibly intelligent, and liked teasing each other.

Last but not least we did a sunset cruise up the Zambezi River, where we met the funny-looking but nasty hippos:

Well, we are relaxing in Jo'burg for a couple of days before we are off to Cape Town & The Garden Route and cage-diving with sharks.
Cheers!
Steve try to pet a hippo. I heard their are very friendly.
ReplyDeleteVery Cool!
ReplyDeleteSteve on an elephant looks an awful lot like that famous photo of Michael Dukakis in a tank!
