Victoria Falls

Wow. That is almost all I can say. Wow.
Today we went to the falls for the first time and were blown away (fortunately not quite literally!) they are SO BIG and SO AWESOME I was amazed and thinking to myself that I couldn’t wish to be anywhere else or to do anything else (pretty lucky seeing as all the activities are rather on the expensive side here being the tourist magnet that it is!)
There is a great walk that takes you to various points where you can see the falls from different angles getting progressively more adventurous and wetter as you progress. Luckily for our belongings someone warned us in the morning about this so we had packed our things inside plastic bags inside our rucksacks, as we were COMPLETELY drenched! The view was amazing and the experience matched by none other (apart from when we went to see Uluru as a kid maybe…) so we did not mind the water at all. Especially as it is very hot here so one can dry off very quickly!
Have taken lots of photos, unfortunately not the patience to load them right now but they still are still a poor reflection of the experience itself.
The experience made me think how possibly can such a thing exist, when looking at something of the sort I don’t think that one can question gods input into our earth! I feel very lucky and privileged to have seen another of the seven wonders of the world.
