Arrived at Livingstone international airport, realized that we had no money for the visa and had to borrow some Kwacha from a fellow passenger, he said was his countries fault (USA) because they had recently made Zambians pay for VISAS. Our first faupa.
After buying cell phone Sims, arrived at the magnificent Zambezi Sun Hotel to a welcome by five Africa warriors, looking like they were fresh out of Shaka Zulu.
We settled in and were replenished with a snack and drinks by the pool while viewing zebra 30 metres from on us on the grounds. Now we really knew we were in Africa!
We ventured next to the Victoria Falls, a 5 minute walk from our rooms. They proved as breathtaking as described by David Livingstone, when he stated that even the angels would have beheld the sight with wonder.
After sleeping some jet lag off, but still feeling grogy we made the short walk in the dark to the hotel resturant. Along the way Jane almost walked smack into the back of a giraffe. You can imagine Jane's fright. Robin, on the other hand was too sleepy to register what had happened until some seconds had passed.
victoria falls looks jaw droppingly magical! even a rainbow in there. love the casual zebras hanging out with you guys.
