We woke up to a clouded and overcast day which in a way was perfect as we had planned for a walk by one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The Victoria falls which are considered to be one of the largest in the world.We went off the beaten path and enjoyed the solitude. There is no guided tours here so you just take a stroll on the marked paths and watch out not to fall of the cliffs. It is stunning green vegetation and very rainforest like in places.
The first path we choose took us to the bridge and we were provided with two layers of rain ponchos due to the spray the falls creates. We could hear the falls before we could see it and what a stunning view. Unfortunately due to the amount of spray we were not able to get any proper pictures but there is no doubt about the saying "Mosi-o-Tunya" the smoke that thunders as it was such a overwhelming noise and the so called spray came down in buckets to the extend that poncho or no poncho would not have made a different. What a experience to feel the power of the falls so overpowering and grand.
We spent the rest of the day by the Victoria falls and had a fab day out in the wild. We decided to return to the falls before we leave this area just to experience this wonder once more in a life time.
By the way I could not resist. I have just booked myself in for white water river rafting down the falls tomorrow.
