Sunday, Oct 5th, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Greetings!

This is probably the day that we have all been waiting for - visiting the Victoria Falls.  The day began early with a short drive from our hotel to the entrance of the park.  Our Guide, Thompson, then hosted our walk along the Zimbabwe side of the Gorge to the 16 viewpoints.  Normally, the mist from the Falls requires raincoats, but this is the dry season, and we were able to negotiate the trail and rocks easily.

Each of you should include the Falls on your bucket list, and try to experience it within a group like those offered through OAT.  You'll also want to make room in your baggage to bring back your choices of the local carved and woven art displayed everywhere.

Returning for brunch, many of our group took advantage of helicopter rides over the Falls, and visits to local elephant rescue centers.  I'm catching up on blog posts, purchasing tickets for a local play tonight after dinner, and anticipating the arrival of custom t-shirts prepared to our specifications by a young entrepreneur we bargained with at lunch yesterday.
