This morning after breakfast we went on a boat trip to Livingstone Island. Left from the Royal Livingstone Hotel. We had to wear raincoats, because we were right by the falls and we got soaked! We had to walk through mud bare foot! The rainbow was amazing, such an experience! We had lunch on the island afterwards (it was early lunch) and then got back to the main land around 1:00 pm.

Spent the afternoon chilling, buying copper bracelets. At around 3:30 pm went to the Royal Livingstone Hotel for high tea, awesome but never again! We walked there and back amongest the Impala. At around 6:30 pm went to use the internet and get onto Facebook to answer messages.

So this morning we left Cape Town at the crack of dawn to fly to Zambia. Our flight left at 7:30 am (Don’t ask) so we left home at 5:30 am to be at Cape Town International Airport for our two hour flight to Johannesburg. Then a connecting flight to Livingstone, Zambia for 5 days. The flights weren’t too bad. Landing in Livingstone was kind of painful. I hate landing with a passion. So then they mucked up my dietary requirements. Luckily for breakfast on the way to Johannesburg I got a meal from business class which had no wheat in it.

Landing in Livingstone was interesting because the airport was so tiny, but they are building a new one. Its such a weird town. A typical town in Africa.

We got a shuttle to the hotel which was the Zambezi Sun (3 star). Next door hotel was the Royal Livingstone Hotel (4 star). We check in had lunch by the pool and then unpacked.

The Victoria Falls has only one word to it “Amazing!” We didn’t get too close because one has to wear rain coats because the spray is so strong.

I then managed to have some alone time with my music and writing.

Then at 6:30 pm we went to supper (3 course meal buffet) and then after supper we turned in early.
