We made it safe'n'sound thru the first leg of our journey! We are in Livingstone, Zambia where we met up with the other team who is on their way back to the US. Livingstone is home to one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, Victoria Falls! It is over 1 mile long and is the largest sheet of falling water in the world. Similar to Niagara Falls, it is situated between two countries and can be viewed from either side. In my previous journies I have only been able to view it's grandeur from the Zambian side however the unrest in Zimbabwe made it unsafe at the time--but new times bring new opportunities! Mosi-au-Tunya is what it is known as locally, "the smoke that thunders." Even though we are seeing it during the driest/lowest season, we still got a good soaker from the mist. My cell phone photos here don't do it justice, but it is absolutely magnificent!!
