Vic falls Helicopter ride


May 23rd

Early morning walks along the falls. The falls are throwing some beautiful rainbows in the sky!

Just finished the helicopter ride. I started feeling sick the minute we took off. The views are great and that kept me from throwing up. We did a shape of 8 over the falls. So much water – just give me the mist and I can run my farm! This isn’t a glacier fed river – just rains and springs! What a river!

The pilot did some cheeky stunts – tilting it one way and another over the gorge. The sights were amazing, but it did funny things to my stomach. Disha next to me was going green too! I was glad when we landed and the ride was over.

Back at the hotel, we decided to walk over the Victoria Falls Bridge that connects Zambia and Zimbabwe. The bridge is over the gorge that lets the river down after the falls. Lots of mist and we were shivering in the cold. The sunset over the mist turned the mist into a fiery red color. How can I describe this? Tongue tied. Can you people hear me sigh?

Gayi, Pandita, thinking of you at every step! I will come with you and 'guide' you when you are headed here next!
