Before we left Zambia our trip was just not complete without an actual visit to Victoria Falls. You could see the cloud of mist from just about everywhere, but I hadn't officially gone to see the falls themselves. The second largest falls in the world, I believe, and my first actual visit to a large waterfall.......I must say that I was really impressed! There were rainbows everywhere and they were so vivid.......as the pictures show!
The falls were absolutely stunning from the Zambian side which is not supposed to be the stunning side of the falls. I had an opportunity to go check them out in prior days from the Zimbabwe side, which are supposedly even more spectacular, but no way am I giving Mugabe any of my money!
We're back down to the deserts of Botswana.....quick little fact here: DeBeers supplies the world with 80% of the world's diamonds and half of DeBeers supplies come from Botswana! It's got to be one of the few ways that the country is making money. Another interesting fact is that there currency is called the Pula, which also means rain......which is muy importante in a desert country.
Until later.
Love, peace, and soul.

Biggs - I've heard that when you visit men's clubs, you can yell make it pula (make it rain) and people get excited. Stay safe.

A friend of mine just returned from Victoria Falls and he went power gliding over the falls. He said it truly was the experience of a lifetime, although it scared the #@$& out of him.
