Victoria Falls





Here are some of the other pics I mentioned from Victoria Falls.

There are 2 aerial shots from the helicopter showing the falls - one that shows the falls and the zig zag canyon downstream that we rafted in (including the bridge that the bungee goes off of). The second shows more of the full width of the falls so you can see how low the flow is right now (the wall shown is 100% falls in the high water season).

I also included 2 shots from our trip to Devil's Pool at the top of the falls. You can see how close we are to the edge we are here and, I have to say, it was pretty scary. We swam out to the rocks where our guide, Prince showed us the pool and we were like "we're jumping into THAT?!?" Once we got it it wasn't so bad, but i never felt comfortabel enough to come fully out of the pool and sit up on the rock like Prince is. You could definitely feel the current pushing!
