Victoria Falls were fantastic. You can only see some of them from the Zambian side, but they were still very impressive. There's a long zig-zagging canyon where the falls have eroded and moved back over thousands of years. You can't really see it from the ground, but just got back from a microlight flight over the area. It's breathtaking. There's a pic on the blog below this entry (www.energiser.net). No idea why it's sideways. Try turning your monitor on it's side.
We walked down to the bridge between Zambia and Zimbabwe, and crossed over the border line mid way (so that's another country for the list, Sean) but didn't enter the country proper. Didn't want to give money to Mugabe and besides, you have to pay another £75 to get back into Zambia. Bit of a rip-off.
One of the group did the bungee jump. He wasn't so concerned with the jump as with the fact they wrote in very large characters on his arm his weight (105kg) where everyone could see. I've done one before in New Zealand. Once was enough.
Last night we had a booze cruise down the Zambezi to watch the sunset. Great fun but every time someone saw an elephant or hippo, everyone on board would run to the requisite side of the boat causing the whole thing to list. Still, no-one seemed too concerned and put the sliding bottles down to being drunk.
