Judy here… Today is all about travelling home, and it is very hot at present 32 degrees, we would not like to be here in summer. First up is our flight from Victoria Falls to Johannesburg, then onto Perth with SAA later tonight. The airport at Victoria Falls is 24km from the town, so it is placed outside the wild animal zone and therefore they are not impacted. This is a tiny airport and the queues were incredible with no where to sit once inside the departur...

Judy here… We have had a very relaxing time the past couple of days in Victoria Falls, this morning spent sitting in the shade by the pool reading...ahh bliss! It was then off for high tea and champers at the Victoria Falls Hotel, which is the complete statement of the former english establishment where in days gone by they would fly in via sea plane for a trip to Africa.

The falls were not at full power but we managed many great photo's. As we moved thro...

We queued on the edge of the tarmac, in the sun and gradually made our way to the shade. #ater was handed out and every...

John here... We had a leisurely start to the day with nothing planned. Nick and Laurel are heading home to Sydney, so after we farewelled them at the hotel we took a walk down along the beach front as the weather was great. The beaches are endless. In the park we found a "tower of giraffes" and it seemed they were looking for Kevin?? The hotel had its own cinema room so we decided to book the movie "Mandela Long Walk to Freedom" - which we missed when it was pl...
