01/05/2017 Rubbish weather again.. Going through photos once more, and today it was Victoria Falls.

Maximum temperature 13C, minimum 5C. 24 kmh with 39 kmh gusts SW wind. Cloud, rain, hail and a little sun.  15 mm of rain measured this morning.
On 6 February this year, we took a trip from our hotel in Chobe to Kazungula in Botswana  There is no bridge, and all vehicles have to travel by ferry to Zambia. You can see the new bridge across the Zambezi river, which is now being built in the background.

It was raining when we got to Livingstone in Zambia. A drive by photo of the High Court.

Christelle, myself, Nigel and Patrick ready for a soaking from the spray.... the rain had stopped.

Mosi oa Tunya - The smoke that thunders...

Victoria Falls from the Zambian side...

You can see the spray from above the falls as well.

Some interesting points.

David Livingstone I presume.

Details of the bridge connecting Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The bridge over the Zambezi river.

Our driver took us over to Zimbabwe so we could walk back across the bridge.

Here we are walking across the bridge.

Variegated Skink (Trachylepis variegate) by the side of the track

In Livingstone, this baboon was obviously looking for scraps and decided to sit here and watch the world go by.  They are dangerous; do not feed them or try to touch!
