    Goodbye, visit to Zambia

    October 24, 2019 in Zimbabwe ⋅ ⛅ 39 °C

    We had breakfast with our tour group and then said our goodbyes. We decided not to go to Victoria Falls because we saw them eight years ago when we were here, and there is not very much water in the river going over the falls right now because of the drought. Instead, we decided to have an adventure and walk from our lodge down to the bridge that crosses the Zambezi river canyon, and across to Zambia. It was about a mile over and a mile back with four stops at immigration, two for each country. There were lots of locals hounding us to buy their products; we bought a couple of small wooden carvings and some old Zimbabwe currency. It was probably 40°C and extremely hot but it was a bit of an adventure, and we were glad we did. We came back to Victoria Falls town and did a little bit more shopping and looking in the stores and then came back to the lodge for a swim in the pool and dinner at a brewpub only a block away.Read more
