Zambia/Zimbabwe! - Blogabond

With news of a cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe we settled on the Zambia side and got ready for a bit of R & R and activities:
We settled down with the locals of Livingstone and haggled on wood carvings, eat crispy chicken and drank Mosi!
We witnessed a village chiefs new wife's kitchen party on our way to bungi jump over the Zambesi river.
This is no-mans land: Not Zimbabwe, not Zambia! tied together we jumped 110 metres down! As we curled our feet over the edge, Kav screamed " I can't do it"!!!! We jumped. All good. The best adrenalin rush ever!!

Next day when we calmed down we headed over to Zimbabwe and visited a Lion park and walked with cubs and witnessed the locals walking across the border to buy their bread and meal and milk. All this with their billion dollar Zimbabwian notes.

One of the natural wonders of the world exists here in the shape of Victoria Falls! Overall [heightxwidthxdepth] it is bigger than Niagara and the views are amazing!

Back to Zambia; sunsets in a pool by the Zambesi, we got ready for our next chapter: Malawi!
