Z as in Zimbabwe


Victoria Falls

Above a photo of Victoria Falls taken from the end of the falls as seen in Zimbabwe. Affectionately know as "Zim" by the locals. Mollie says Zimbabwe has water but the Zambia end is dry as it is higher and the Zambesi is low on water. She writes that it was interesting to get the two views, which also required two additional visas and a 45 second drive by van from the Zimbabwe border to the Falls parking lot.

Roughing it in the bush

Mollie said the camp in Zambia was air-conditioned, the only camp on an electric grid, with the power coming from the Falls. Even with the air-conditioning it would get to 100 degrees in the canvas tent.

Who would have known when we were little kids in school there would be a time that I would be sharing Mollie's trip to Africa on a thing called a blog on another thing called the internet. Amazing in all sorts of ways.
