FLY OVER THE RAINBOW

 VIC FALLS   
Bungee Jumping over the rainbow !!
At our recent holiday at the spectacular Vic Falls  I took this photo  of the brave ones  jumping from the bridge over the Zambezi river. (Wonder what happened to the Aussie girl that made history by falling in the river when the rope snapped. )
We stayed in the wonderful Vic Falls Hotel and enjoyed every moment of the luxury.  High Tea in the
afternoon on the veranda overlooking the Falls  was a delight . The evening dinners with the tribal dancers was most enjoyable.  We also went on a Zambezi river dinner cruise that we enjoyed and I took such beautiful   photos of the sunset (next blog)
The helicopter flight was just as exciting !
My advise.... this is one of the MUST TRIPS !
you can put it on your bucket list.

WHALES ARE HERE IN WILDERNESS WATERS

 Today the 3rd of July I saw the first Whales.
They are here !!!
I called our visiters from Gauteng and they were
thrilled to show their children what  the whales look like in real life. It is so thrilling..... this is where they come to for the mating period and sometimes you see them very active..... just head and tails!!  Not the best photo.... but will try to capture a better one.
