Day 18 - Busy Zimbabwe!

We had a package deal with 2 choices of activities and packed them in today. We changed our minds many times (Barbara the Thompsons rep just Loved us!)

So we started the day with a helicoptor ride around Victoria Falls. My first time in a helicoptor and it was amazing!! Short at only 15 minutes - but memorable for the views you got of one of the 7 wonders of the world.




Then we got back for a quick lunch - which must say the Victoria Falls hotel redeemed itself with food in it's lunch brae (BBQ). Great fresh meat and salad made to order and not a canned buffet.

We then went for a Lion Walk. OMG!! One of the top experiences in my life!! You are actually walking with lions, touching them, seeing them play. One even nibbled the husband's leg!! Which of course scared the crap out of him but now he uses as a badge of honor with other tourists!



Dinner is still to come for a Boma dinner - traditional food and dance at a waterholes to welcome the animals. The delicacy for tourists is a worm...will we eat it???
