Mwaiseni to Victoria Falls (Welcome!)
Palicibili (Tuesday)
We arrived yesterday morning to the ‘Smoke that thunders’, Victoria Falls. The first glance of ‘amenshi’(water) created great excitement in the children and leaders. The mist of the Falls was amazing. The leaders took extra special care in holding their two children’s hands tightly along the wet slippery path and bridges. We all got wet. Some of the children enjoyed the experience by screaming with excitement, danced and celebrated in the rain. The children sang the song ‘Our God is goodo’ (great song-some leaders may sing this song to you on our arrival home if you ask nicely?) Other children gripped super tight to their leaders hands for the bigness of the falls.
We were entertained from the local monkeys. They amused the children greatly. The monkeys snatched food from tourists bags when they were not looking. One big monkey in particular attempted to run towards briskly to one tourist who was happy snapping him. The children screamed and clapped with excitement. Most of the children have not seen a monkey before maybe only in a story or educational book.
After lunch some of the group walked down the steep drop of the falls to the bottom known as the Boiling Point. It was not for the unfit or for the fit leaders? We walked through creeks (having shoes on then taking shoes off then shoes on and off) we walked over sharp and slippery rocks. The children had no problems at all their feet are very strong, they are also very confident and active leaving us very exhausted and sore. The Boiling Point was beautiful and our bodies enjoyed the rest to view the wonder. We saw the famous bridge were bungee jumping is done and the flying fox, gorge swing. We will see our bold adventure junkies jump sometime this week.
Today we are off for the Zambezi cruise with the children. Hope to see some African animals.
