Victoria Falls

The day after rafting (18th) we decided to take it a bit easy. We moved our things from our "pre-erected" tent to our new home for 13 days. The truck - "Shire" - and the tent we set up ourselves! Colin, the tour guide gave us some tips on tent set up... Start with one axis for the poles, start from the top hooking in the tent, and most importantly don't stand on the tent! 
After getting set up we monopolised some chairs by the pool for the next few hours and had burgers from the restaurant for lunch before heading to Victoria falls. When we arrived we marvelled at the rocks. Yes rocks. It's currently the dry season in Zambia, so the falls aren't mosi-oa-tunga...smoke that thunders.. right now. However it is 37 degrees Celsius... Or, REALLY HOT.

Here's me, blocking the one part of the falls we could see well. Oops.

After Victoria falls, we assumed our previous positions by the pool at the Waterfront. Dinner was pizza from the wood fire oven and a bare bones banana split - both were great though! Soon after dinner we retired to the tent. It was a bit different than the tent with beds and a fan!
