Zambia – Victoria Falls

14/7/2013

Today is out last day here is Zambia (I am pretty sure it is in the same line as Egypt and that is saying something coming from me). We woke up early and had our last breakfast (my mom and sister can certainly do with a break from the waffles) 😉 So after breakfast we went see knife cutting edge and put on our raincoats to get wet my the waterfall for the last time. Then around 10:00 am we went back to our rooms to pack and leave our hotel by 11:00 am a shuttle took us to the airport. The airport is so small and they are so freaked out about security we had to go through customs twice! Then we had to walk to our plane and we our seats where at the back of the aircraft. So we had a horrible taking off and it felt like my stomach was dropping sometimes. Landing was very smooth in Johannesburg even though we nearly missed our flight to Cape Town. Anyway BA messed up my meals again on the way down. The joy! So had to eat wheat the whole day. Once we landed in Johannesburg got our bags and basically ran across the airport, quickly check in and ran through customs luckily we made it to the line. So we weren’t really late just made it for the last boarding.

It felt so good to be going home. I had such an awesome holiday and this is something I will never forget.

Here is for the next adventure!:D

Zambia – Victoria Falls

11/7/2013

This morning we woke up early for breakfast. This place is beautiful! Soon we heading out to see the Victoria Falls and to get wet.

We had to put on these long yellow rain coat (Harry Potter style as my sister put it). We walked across the bridge in the mist and spray of the waterfall, it felt like rain. It is amazing and I got soaked, but dry on the inside. I took so many photos, its hard to explain if one hasn’t been there.

Afterwards we just chilled and read. Then we went to have lunch  by the pool and afterwards my mom and I walked around. Later Graeme went on a microlight and everyone went with him so I had sometime by myself to write and read by the pool. Only wrote about two pages though.

Managed to get on the hotel internet this evening. One get the first 15 mins for free until then one has to pay and I didn’t want my dad to pay my internet bill. Because everything is double there. Example Zambia Kwacha Kr18 then it would be R36. Like Ciders where kr 36 at the hotel so it would have been R72! It was like wow!!
