Victoria Falls (from the air)

(Friday) I waited until we got back to Namwianga to post the blog because the connection was poor. Friday, we headed for the helicopter pad for the tour of Victoria Falls. It was truly magnificent. There were six passengers and the pilot. The pilot wanted Ian next to him so he saw it all from the front seat. It was very expensive, but well worth every penny. I really enjoyed seeing it and the surrounding area.

We headed back to Victoria Falls for the day visit. Always dramatic. Ian wanted to shop in the Victoria Falls Craft Market so I headed to The Zambezi Sun. The Kubu Crafts is still there as well as many additional upscale shops. The Zebras were roaming the grounds and one South African tourist forgot they were wild and tried to approach one. She barely avoided a kick. We had to shuttle the students again so Beckie spent much of her time driving back and forth.

Friday night we too the sunset cruise. This year we went on the Lady Livingstone and departed from the David Livingstone Lodge. It was a classier trip then either of the ones we had done before. Ian made a friend (Webster) with a fellow birder who worked as a waiter. We were all very tired when we got back to the Protea.
