I did not tell you much about the falls, but as always they
are quite spectacular and the Zambians have really upped their game, as I
recall it always lagged behind the Zimbabwe side or so I was told, they have
spent a lot on the walkways and amenities and although it does not get as close
to the falls as on the Zimbabwe side you can still get soaked by the spray and
the views of the bridge are excellent. We spent the whole morning there and
then had lunch at Olga’s Italian Restaurant. Sinead enjoyed getting wet, but it
was a hard slog for Claudia who used the carrier for her.

| Sinead, this is a dogs life |
We met up with a hopeful salesman through the fence at the
end of the photographic walk, who was trying to persuade us to do the bungy
jump, swing or some other crazy stunt off the middle of the bridge, which we
gracefully declined.

| Jumping off this you must be crazy |
Waking up in the morning to the cry of the African Fish
Eagle, the grunts of the Hippo and 101 bird songs is exceptional and definitely
“out of Africa” eat your hearts out. We were
probably 18kms up stream of the falls right on the edge of the mighty Zambezi and you could hear the roar of the falls from
there.

We got back to our humble abode mid afternoon and we packed
ready for a reasonably early start the next morning for the capital Lusaka.
