Victoria falls, Zimbabwe by the kids

Hello (English), Bonjour (French), Hola (Spanish), Hallo (German), Hej (Danish), Dfhsfkh (Andrewish), now that’s enough hellos, LETS GET ONTO THE BLOG, my blog, not anyone else’s, mine, only mine, mine, MINE, MMMMMIIIIIIIINNNNEEEE!!!!!!!! Now read.
On the 18th we woke up in a hotel and made some breakfast (we have a kitchen), we made scrambled eggs on toast. When we finished it we got a taxi (mum edit: we walked!) and went over to VICTORIA FALLS, that’s right, were going to look at it from the other side, we were going to see %75 of it. It was going to be huge, when we saw it on the Zambian side it already looked huge but now its going to be even bigger. When we got there hopped out paid to get in, then got our raincoats (not making that mistake again) but it cost 15 US DOLLARS to rent four raincoats, expensive. When we went in dad said we better get wet because we’ve paid already and we can’t get our money back. When we went to the first look, IT WAS AMAZING, the view was beautiful, the water was pouring over at incredible speed, guess how much was going over per second, around 5000 cubic meters, amazing. The peak amount of water that has gone over in one second is 16,990 cubic meters, 6000 tons, in other words, a lot. When we moved to the next look out and I looked amazing, the mist had cleared and the water was pouring over a tree, the perfect photo opportunity. We went to all the lookouts and it was lovely, there was one where we couldn’t see the water fall but we could see the river, the mist and the bridge, plus a couple of rainbows. That one was one of the best views, we even saw someone jump (bungee jump) of the bridge. When we went back to the hotel we made dinner and slept.
On the 19th we were going to have one of the best days of my life, we were going to go to a café on the edge of a cliff that had the Zambezi River flowing beneath it. The café had a bunch of high wire thing we could do, there were things like ziplines, a flying fox, a canopy tour (on ziplines) and a gorge swing. The gorge swing was a 75 meter drop then you swing for 90 meters over the raging Zambezi River, and I’m doing it (and everything else I mentioned). When we got there the first thing we had to do was the canopy tour, we were all doing it, even Emma, and Emma’s never done a zip line before, it’s going to be her first. When we got on I went first (because I love ziplines), I love the feeling of just rushing through the air, it’s so fun. When Emma went, she said that it was a little scary, there were nine ziplines in the course and we were going to do it all, when finished it we went over to the flying fox. Me and dad were doing it, when dad did it he said it was pretty fun, but when I did it, it felt awesome, it was a quick ride but it was cool. Next it was the zip line all of us… Wait, it wasn’t, it was the gorge swing first (gulp noise), the gorge swing was the only thing I was truly scared of, and I was meant to do it alone. When dad was about to go, I asked him if I could go with him, and with him being my dad, he said yes. So they strapped us in and we stepped off, when we were falling we were going so fast that the 75 meters were over in about 4-5 seconds, and when we were swing it felt so cool, when we stopped they pulled us up. When we got up the next thing on the list was the big zipline, dad went first (I wanted a 5-minute break) when dad was pulled back to us, I got my turn, we would stand on the edge of a platform and then push of. When I was going through the air it was so fun, the ride lasted about a minute because we would just slide back and forth. When it was Emma and mums turn, they were doing it together, mum was in first but when they were putting Emma in, she got to scared and bailed out. Mum was going to do it by their self but I (happily) offer to go with them. When we went I encouraged mum and pointed out some interesting things I saw. When we got back up we went and got some drinks from the café and then went home, did a bit of blog then watched a movie, then to sleep.
On the 20th we didn’t do much, we were having a blog and schoolwork day, we started our day by doing some work then we did blog, after that we just stayed home play games and then in the night we watched a movie. I need to mention that this is our last day in Zimbabwe, tomorrow we are flying to Namibia, that’s our last stop in Africa, then we are going to France. When the movie finished we went to sleep.

On the 18th we went to visit Victora falls. I know what you’re thinking. You went there three days ago but that was in Zambia and this time we are in Zimbabwe. This time it wasn’t as wet as last time but it still was cold. We saw a lot more from this side. We saw 25 percent in Zambia and 75 percent in Zimbabwe. Mums thong broke so we went looking or another pair. Came back and had noddles for lunch. After that we did schoolwork and blog.
On the 19th it is a big day for me. We spent a fortune on today, but it was worth that money. We all did the canopy tour, (which by the way was a bunch of little ziplines) dad and Andrew did the very big swing and the flying fox, (the big swing is a big swing, and you had to stand on a platform then you jump off and free fall for a bit and just before you reach the water you go up) mum and dad and Andrew did the big zipline but I was too scared to. and do you know why it’s my big day, I WENT ON MY FIRST EVER ZIPLINES TODAY! I went on 9, I was meant to do10, but I didn’t go on the big zipline. It was too high for my liking, but Andrew happily took my spot with mum. I was happy that I did the little ones. I was so scared that I was actually shaking with fear. On one of the ziplines I got wacked by a rope in the eye that took off some of my skin. I have a bruise now. I felt a bit scared, happy and worried. The view was amazing. I am very proud of myself. After that we had a couple drinks and went back home to do blog.
On the 10th we did post cards. Then we walked around to find a post office. After that we came back did blog and schoolwork.
Tomorrow we are taking a plane to Namibia.
THE END.
