Packed-filled adventure in Livingstone

We are heading to capetown today via joberg. Hit our first snag with our RTW ticket cuz apparently my name disappeared from the manifest list. Am hoping this will sort itself out. (Post: tickets are all good!)

We have spent five adrenaline packed days in Livingstone and saying our zambia leg was awesome would be the understatement of the year.

1. White water rafting on the zambezi river - falling out of a class v rapid (no. 8) and cruising down the rapid sans raft was quite exhillerating. As I fell out, all I could think of was simba one of the guides saying, "you have a life jacket. You will pop back out from the rapid". Good thing I also grabbed on to alan and cruised down with him. Fell out a second time but with less dramatic as I grabbed the safety line.

2. Lion walk with mukuni big 5 safari - spent a morning walking with two lions (moshi and saka). As it was early morning, both were very playful and chased each other quite a bit. Was also able to pet them and walk quite close to them. Both were beautiful lions. Def walked away with an even greater appreciation for the lions even though I was already obsessed before.

3. Bungee, gorge swing, and zip line - We went on the freedom bridge between zambia and zimbabwe and jumped off the bridge overlooking the zambezi river and victoria falls. I had no intention of bungee jumping, but watching priscilla, alan, mike, and vas do it made me want to do it also. I'm glad I wasn't deterred after joel who looked quite blue from the jump. Of course, it was already lunch break for the bungee guys but they fit me in. I also didn't have any money with me so vas was kind enough to lend me the moola. Her payment was two position switches in the asshole card game. Good bargain in my opinion. bungee was way scarier than I even expected and not sure I was the fan of being upside down. The gorge swing was way better because after the five second freefall, you hang off the bridge and enjoy the scenery.

4. Swimming from Livingstone Island to the edge of victoria falls. We all agree that experience was the most unique and special of all our activities. Right at the top of victoria falls, there is a small pool called "devil's pool" where we all jumped in. We were literally one foot from the edge of waterfall. Quite unbeliveable!!

Our evenings were packed with a-hole and beer. I introduced trivia and plaw introduced the "wild 4". We also tried taboo and finger game. Nate, you will be sad to hear that no one has taken to the finger game. So sad. I am still an avid believer and will hope to convert some folks.
