living on the wild side

Hello!!!!

Sorry it has been ages since my last blog. I have not had internet or phone reception for over a week. I am now in Livingstone, Zambia and have lots to catch up on....Where to start....

Zanzibar!

What an amazing island!!! it was one of the most beautiful places ive seen. It really does not look real in the sense that its ridiculously beautiful!!! We had four days there where we pretty much just lazed around on the beach, ate, sunbaked, ate some more, drank, swam, snorkled and on our last night we did a sunset cruise which was really nice. Alot of people got really sunburnt and aparently i became the sun police : ) After reluctantly leaving our beautiful island paradise we made our way into Malawi where we spent around 3-4 days there at lake malawi....Its so weird cause it is this really massive lake but it looks like a beach and there are waves. we didnt swim because of a nasty parasite, which was annoying cause it was really hot. We went to a few markets were we all tried our luck at bartering and managed to get a really cool chair hand carved for around us$15. I am now in Livingstone, Zambia at vic falls. There is a heap to do in Vic falls in terms of adventure but there is alot we cant do as we have found out this morning which is disappointing. The rafting, riverboarding, jet boating are all out cause the river is to high. I am trying to organise a sky dive for tomorrow but there are complications cause i have to pay to come back into zambia again so i will see what happens. One thing i am doing is a elephant walk on the zimbabwee side which im SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited about@!! i cant wait its going to be a blast! The other items on the agenda will be quad biking in mozambique as well as horse riding. We also may even have to option to go to Chobe national park in botswana which isnt included on the tour which would be cool! I am having an absolute blast and i cant believe ive been away for 5 weeks!!!!! I really dont want to come home in a way cause its so beautiful here and ive fallen in love with this place!!! But dont worry i will be home : ) Our tour group is starting to have a bit more fun now which is good, everyone is comin out of their shells a bit which is good. We had a ladies wine night last night and one of the girls fell and cut here head : ( i nearly passed out cause of the blood ( not the alcohol) poor thing she is ok and luckily she is a nurse. Well peoples i have to leave it there sorry!!!! internet about to run out. I will try and write some more in the next few days to update on how the dare devilling is going....who knows i may even bungy - its the 3rd highest in the world!!! hahaha yeah see how i go with that!!!

MISS EVERYONE LOADS!!!!!! would love to get some emails back to see what everyone is up to and whats the goss : )

lots of love,

jess
