Day 6

I’ve been really tired the last few days, so I’ll this one tonight and catch up on the rest on the plane tomorrow.

On Tuesday we got picked up at 6.15 to go to Thorn Tree Lodge to go on an Elephant Back Tour. We we’re with 8 other people; 2 guys from Germany, a group of 5 from England and another lady from England. It was raining when we got there but it stopped before we started, plus they gave us all ponchos.

Jayne and I were on the same elephant. We went through water and we saw some crocs. The tour was for about an hour. They had been filming the whole ride and showed us the film they had made from it and it was really good, so we brought a copy.

We got back to waterfront just in time for the end of breakfast. Actually we were late, but they made breakfast for us anyway.  T

he activities centre organised a private driver for us and Herbert picked us up at about midday and drove us right to the Zimbabwe border, where we gained a few more stamps in our passports. We had to walk about 100 metres between the border and Victoria Falls.

The falls were amazing!! The water was pounding down the 94 metre cliff and the spray was wonderful. We spent about an hour walking around the falls before we went back to the entry to have a small lunch after a late breakfast.

 We then took a taxi to a market. It was really intense. Every guy there was trying to sell you the exact same stuff, plus or minus some things, saying it was their own art. Dad brought a chair which he had been talking about trying to find and Jayne and I found this guy, Simba, that was really nice and we got a good deal of him. Once we had all the things we wanted and it was time to go, everyone came to us with a last chance deal to try and sell something, they were even trying to convince us through the taxi window.

We got back to the border, where we got a few more stamps in our passport,and Herbert met us on the other side and took us back to waterfront.

Well I’m buggered so I’ll do all the photo’s tomorrow aswell.
