Vic falls is really amazing. When we first paid the 20 dollars we thought we couldn't see very much but you go over this bridge and get absolutley soaked as it started randomly raining everywhere. Rainbows also pop up everywhere and there are also loads of baboons which are scary!
A new girl started today called Emma and us her and Patrik went to the falls; the others did abseiling. We also got to go above Vic falls and stand on a rock right next to where it goes over the edge which was so good. Livingstone is the first place we've been able to have a lie in and and be able to buy souveniers so we went a bit crazy everything is so cheap and they like to swap things for goods. So Dan exchanged his dirty wet socks for a little voodoo man and the next day we saw him wearing them!! The place we was staying at was ok but the man who owned it was a terrible he was crude sexist homophobic racist all the time and we just couldnt stand him he called all his workers slaves and constantly talked about sex. We didnt stay there very often we all just wondered about the town so as not to run into him.
We ate really good food because Livingstone didnt include dinner on the truck. The first night we went to ocean basket ( a seafood chain) with Hollie, Jen and Ben. The next night us lot plus Emma went to a Zambian restauraunt we'd seen and we all wanted to order village chicken but there was only 2 and so we had to get something else which was good because the village chicken looked disgusting when it came out for Ben and Emma.
We found an african market and bought Dan a phone charger as he had forgotten his and I bought some Zimbabwae 50 trillion dollar bills as souvenirs. The next day we decided to do the lion walk and then saw they had a rhino walk. We went on the rhino walk first which was really cool because it was just me and Dan and a guide and a rifle man and we got so close to 2 mothers and 2 baby rhinos which were only 6 months old! It was so cool as they were wild. They have a rifle man each to follow them round to protect them from poachers.
In the afternoon we did the lion walk with 2 two year old lions one female and one male who had already started growing a mane. We got to stroke the loads and hold there tails as they walked and the guides got some really good photos of us. The last night we went to have impala stew which tastes like lamb and that was really yummy. We stayed an extra day in Livingstone because the truck we were swapping over to didnt arrive till a day later which was annoying as it meant we would have to cut out a day elsewhere.
