Victoria Falls, Zambia

After receiving our kidnap insurance, we entered into Zambia. For some reason, we all gave the border guard 55 american dollars, and judging by what could only possibly be described as a 'mound' of money beside him, so had all the others before us.

One of the wonders of the world awaited us, a waterfall so large it would lend gravitas to the disc world theory. Hiking up the ravine side across from the falls, spray fell in such incredible volumes that even our yellow rain slickers ended up being nothing more than a good way to keep track of each other through it all. A brilliant helicopter ride and a resort overrun by baboons and zebras, made for an exceptional few days.
