Our flight from Ndola to Lusaka was uneventful. We did have a minor holdup on the flight to Livingstone though ... After we were all loaded into the plane and heading to the runway the captain informed us that the right engine wasn't getting power. Needless to say we turned around so that the engineers could check it out. We were then on our way thirty minutes later.
We then spent the rest of the day at Victoria Falls in Livingstone. Although it is the dry season and the falls are not in their most grandeur they were still amazing to see and hear.
We walked down to the "boiling point" where the falls meet at the bottom. In our walk we encountered a huge troop of baboons. The babies swung in the trees near us. At some points on our walk we could have easily touched them they were do close.
We then walked through the rocks at the top of the falls where the water flows. There are pockets if water throughout with some deeper than others and still being fed by the Zimbeze river. We were all do hot that it didn't take long for us to strip down and go swimming.
A little shop was also enjoyed at the falls as a small craft market was set up.
Time to go ready to start the day. It is 5:45 am here and we need to be on the bus at 6:45 am. Today we are off to Botswana on Safari.
We have wireless in our hotel room so it looks like our updates will continue via iPhone typing and email. I'll try to get a couple pictures on my phone to share and if possible will hook up to a computer to send more.
