As mentioned in the previous post, we walked from Zimbabwe to Zambia via this bridge. It provided a great view down to the Boiling Pot which we were able to hike down to on the Zambia side.
From the bridge you can just make out Victoria Falls as well. On the far right of the picture is a small pedestrian bridge called Knife Edge that goes to the large treed rock in more of the center of the picture called Gorilla Head which some of the pictures below are taken from.
The Eastern Cataract which is the far end of the falls from Devil’s Cataract on the Zimbabwe side.
The girls opted to catch a rainbow this time rather than a waterfall. At least in high water season with all this mist, Victoria Falls certainly has a lot of beautiful rainbows.
Crossing the Knife Bridge to Gorilla Head viewpoint was a wet endeavor.
The view down from Knife Edge Bridge.
Sometimes the view was clear, sometimes it was not!
The left picture is from Gorilla Head but on the side facing the international bridge. Still misty, but not pouring! As we looped around and came back to Knife Edge Bridge to return, it was coming down harder than when we arrived, so much so that all the steps had mini waterfalls going down.
Last shot after returning; a bit wet but with smiles on our faces.
After that we did hike down to Boiling Pot which was pretty cool to see, but not as impressive as the falls themselves.
Just past our hotel in Livingstone was a little craft market that I wish I had gotten a better picture off. Some of the actual artists were out there working so you knew that a lot of it was locally made. The girls have been collecting keychains and magnets of all the countries we got to and we were having a hard time finding a good keychain for Annika in Zambia. At one stall we saw a magnet that if you drilled a hole into it, it could work as a keychain. As were we discussing doing that at home, the man of the stall said he could easily do that and if something happened while drilling, he could repaint it. Turns out he made them himself and he proceeded to removed the magnet, drill the hole, and do a bit of touch up with the paint. This story represents some of our first impressions in dealing with Zambians, whether a vendor like this, the young people helping us with our mobile SIM cards, or the hotel staff: they were all super friendly, helpful and had a warmth to them. The one exception was the guys trying to hawk buses at the bus station, they were the normal pushy sales people we have encountered elsewhere
