Said goodbye to The Beast

We woke up yesterday around six to have breakfast around 7:30. We needed to drive  six hours from Bulawayo to victory falls. This was our very last drive with our group. The drives on this trip have been really interesting. They are long and the roads are terrible. In total three windows have broken because they have jiggled out of place, we had one flat tire, and one faulty clutch. In the end we made it all the way from Nairobi to victory falls without any major problems and for that I am grateful. We rolled into Vic falls at about two and all of us opted to just hang out and rest until dinner time. Some of the group took a 15 minute helicopter ride to see the falls from above. For dinner we walked to a nearby restaurant that was really cool and delicious. We talked about the trip and all the highlights and just enjoyed our time together. We then headed back to the campsite and slept for the last time in the tents. In the morning we had crepes and cereal for breakfast and Michael our guide arranged for a group of singers and dancers to come be with us while we ate. When breakfast wound up we unpacked our tents and then headed to see the falls. In total the falls have fifteen look out points all along and we stopped at each of them to see and to take pictures. The father we walked to more mist was coming up from the bottom and by the end we were completely soaked. The falls were incredible and so beautiful. After the fifteen spots we walked across a bridge connecting Zimbabwe and Zambia to see the gorge below. We then walked to a super cool restaurant on the edge the gorge called the lookout where we watched people swinging and zip lining and ate. We then grabbed our stuff from the campsite and checked into a hotel where we’ll be staying for the next two nights.
