Vic Falls

We have been spending the last few days in Vic Falls, lying by the pool and eating yummy food. Since Vic Falls is also the adrenalin capital of Africa we've also done superman highwire, abseiling, gorge swing, microlighting and the Vic Falls bungy.

The bungy was very cool. We had people with shaking legs, people fall off and people come back up the top only to burst into tears. Overall though, everyone loved it. I went first which was probably less nerve wracking in the end because all the different screams added to the build up. This one is the 3rd highest in the world and I've done the second highest in New Zealand before. I hear the highest is near Cape Town on the Garden Route, so I might make it a top three in the world by the end of this trip. Should be fun. Maybe I can convince my mum and dad or Nicci to throw themselves off too.

While we have been here the Zim Dollar inflation has doubled on the black market exchange rate. Absolutely bonkers trying to do anything in this currency. It is very interesting to see how everyone gets by with all these crazy financial market difficulties. Can I swap you a goat?

Mark!

James here - another ex Actix traveller!

We were just in Vic Falls too, although on the Zambian side. Didn't do the bungee - you nutcase - but did the rafting. Allllllllright.

Where are you heading next? We are back in Cape Town now until the end of Feb, so if you make it here before then we should have a beer.
