Victoria Falls

Adding another pricey visa into our passports we ventured into the northern corner of Zimbabwe to see Victoria Falls, the greatest waterfalls in the world

We went to a crocodile farm near Victoria falls. They breed croc's for meat and leather. We got to handle the small ones. It was fun

Chelsea got the really squirmy one.

This group of Rastafarian musicians befriended me because I was not "a typical tourist" They told us that they could get us any souvenirs for cost price, unfortunately that was after we had spent the day buying carvings, fabric, and other junk.

Devils cataract, the start of the falls.

The falls are known as the "smoke that thunders" to the locals. We got pretty wet standing near them, and we were there in the dry season.

The falls have carved a deep gorge with shear cliffs hundreds of feet high

The monkeys at the falls are so accustomed to visitors that they don't even seem to notice them. I was standing just in front of this monkey taking pictures and it walked about as if I wasn't even there. I followed it around until I was told by a police officer that I was in the wrong area. 

We were so impressed by Victoria falls that we wanted to see some more of Zimbabwe. We drove down through the country en route to South Africa. About every 20 minutes we were pulled over by the police and fined for the most ridiculous reasons. At one point a police officer threatened to arrest Chelsea for failing to obey a police officer. Needless to say we hoped the border back into Botswana as fast as we could. We made it to South Africa safe and sound and are leaving for Tanzania soon.
