Day 17 - Victoria Falls

We are staying at the beautiful Victoria Falls Hotel. It is Edwardian so ver British in it's look and feel.
Today we woke early planning to do rafting, but changed our mind last minute.
So we walked to Victorial Falls and rented a poncho, found a fee geocaches (hooray!!) and got soaking wet!!
There is a short walk from the hotel to the falls of which you ate bombarded by the local salesmen and their wares. It is a bit intimidating to me as sooo many and not willing to rake no for an answer. They play on you and say 'just need to feed kids' and willing to trade items like your shoes, shirts etc...
We bought the 10 Trillion dollar note along with others - but this is the largest note in the old currency and the treasure to find. Worth a grand old $0.60 so not retiring on this!



We finished the day with a sunset cruise on the Zambezi river - seeing crocodiles, elephants, and many hippos. Quite amazing to see all this nature.

Also managed to finish another book - the dragon tattoo - but it it part of a set of 3 so will I finish the rest before I return?? I rarely read leisurely at home - so it it a luxury I save for vacation.
