Day 2

Victoria Falls Bridge.
Set out on our second day to cross the Vic bridge and go into Zimbabwe. Still jet lagged, we forgot to get the US dollars out for visa entry into Zimbabwe.  Never mind, once you enter Zim Zam, the opportunists in what appears to be an unregulated environment can arrange a FOREX transaction quicker than John Key probably ever achieved.

In the end we decided that the view of Vic falls from the bridge was enough, and the US $100 dollar cost of a Visa and park entry on the Zimbabwe side'was too much for the view. Although Robin may have some regrets as long as Rosina has visited more countries than him.

So we went back into Zim Zam to brave the souveneer sellers on the bridge.  For them making a sale means surviving and they will do any thing in a polite way to make a sale, including a fair amount of pleading

African Queen
From the moment we stepped onto the African Queen sunset cruise, it lived up to it's luxury tourist billing. We were served drinks and snacks and didn't mind that we were the slowest boat on the Zambesi. While other water craft speed past us we knew that we would arrive back at our destination happier than the speedsters. Saw hippos, and a number of types of birds and finally a sunset. In July the suns setting rays shine down the Zambesi lighting up the whole river.
