Day Eleven - Sunday, July 10: Livingstone Victoria Falls

Early morning at the falls. Got up near sunrise, went and got a raincoat and then walked over to see the falls in the morning light and saw an amazing double rainbow. Found Lisa and Katie there so we all hung out to see if the sun would ever break through. There was quite a covering of clouds and so I think it longer than it might have on a clear day.

I then went back to the room and got Christine for breakfast. By this time in the trip I was almost totally stuffed and did not want to eat much. Who can eat even two huge meals every day? This morning I found the yogurt and granola which is always what I love to eat most when we are traveling

Bungee jumping on the bridge adventure. We gathered every one at breakfast and made plans to head over to the Victoria Falls Bridge for the Bungee jumbing experience. Our group was made up of me, Christine, John and Tina Drake, Tasha and Zoe, Brooke, Katie and Mark. To leave Zambia and go onto the bridge we had to go into the immigration office where they gave us a piece of paper where they wrote the number of people who were in our group that we had to give to a guy at the gate on the bridge. All the way we were surrounded by the locals who were selling everything from carved animals to bracelets. The guy who approached us was named Peter and he tried to be our guide trough the whole process. He actually hung around the entire time we were on the bridge.

A little less than half way across the bridge we had to walk up some stairs to the bungee company office where you could decide exactly what you wanted to do and then pay. The cost was $120 for the full bungee jump. Before I could really decide whether or not I actually wanted to do it it was clear that Katie did not have enough money so I worked out a deal with her to pay for it for her in Kwatcha and then she would pay me back in dollars. So I no longer had enough money to do it even if I had decided that I wanted to.

After they all paid and were committed, we all walked down to the bridge to wait our turn. Mark was first and Zoe second. They each were weighed and given a number

then harnessed up.
