Livingston / Victoria Falls: 17th Aug 09















Drove for another half day and arrived at our campsite in Livingstone. We arrived into Livingstone in the afternoon, quick stop for the ATM in Livingstone before travelling the final 4km to the camp. On arrival at the camp (very nice place on the bank of the Zambezi river, cool bar) we watched a film showing all the options for activities in the Vic falls area. Paul and I decided to go for microlight flights over Vic falls in the morning, followed by walking with lions in the afternoon. On Wednesday morning we’ll be going for a half day white water rafting, cool!

In the evening we had to say goodbye to some of our fellow travellers, who are heading off in the morning. We all decided it would be worth splashing out so asked our guide to book us into the best restaurant in town – unfortunately we arrived at a greasy spoon and had a table set up in the car park – very disappointing and I had the worst meal I’ve ever had the misfortune to eat – a ‘boot leather’ steak which took at least 45 chews for each mouthful – I gave up after 3 tries! But we ended up in Emma and Leeann’s room and got well bladdered on long island (not ice) teas. So it’s goodbye to Emma, Leeann, Jules, Rugth, John, Jen, Lisa, Ted and Fiona. Only 8 of the original trip are carrying on to Cape Town, and we have 3 new people joining us, so that’s 11 in total – at last we can spread out a bit more on the truck!
