Getting the heart pumping at Vic Falls


We've had a few days at Vic Falls and it has all been about extreme activities. Woo Hoo!!


Day one was white water rafting on the Zambezi which was intensely scary and full on. WE fell out on the very first rapid and got sucked under for what felt like an eternity...we got much better at paddling as a team after that. We went through

25 major rapids and it was scary and very tiring stuff.

Day two saw Steve bungy jump off the second highest jump in the world - its 111 meters or thereabouts and you do it off the border bridge between Zambia and Zimbabwe. He was pretty cool carm and collected and did an awesome swan dive off the top.

LAter that night the booze cruise began on the upper river....although I had to watch it as this morning I was skydiving. It's the first time I have done it decided to do the whole hog and do the biggest jump that you can do here - which is 10,000 feet and has 35 seconds of freefall time. Was amazing, and I could see out over the falls in the plane before falling out the side.

Heading to a game park tomorrow so life might return to slightly less extreme activities...although I am on the hunt for a rhino and lion so we shall see how the heart holds up!!
