After a rather horrendous border crossing involving 7 different processes and payments the intrepid aussies made it across the river into Zambia... this is not a process to be scoffed at... all the other tourists paid touts exorbitant amounts of US dollars to assist them but we made it through the formalities ar a cost of 2 cans of coke (one for the ferryman and one for a particularly persistent tout who hung out to the end.
Victoria Falls is a tourist town but was worth the visit. Pushed Leigh off the bridge with a rather tatty elàstic band tied to her feet, did a helicopter ride over the falls. Pretty good day...
Kepi here adding a bit more ..... For me it was a 10/10 kinda day.
we managed to score best seats in the house aboard MV Lady Livingstone , cruising the Mighty Zambesi..... Feet up on the bow rail, ,sunset and hippies, drinking copious amounts of G&T ( medicinal of course gotta watch them malaria mossies)
rather magical watching the dusk overtaking the day!! we sprinkled some of my intrepid dad's ashes in the Zambezi River , Zambia & Zimbabwe.......he gave me my wanderlust and my need to know, he is still travelling the world........
