Since we had seen the Falls from Zimbabwe, we decided to head over to Zambia to see them from the other side! We didn't spend much time in Zambia, so we'll keep it short ...
When we walked over the bridge from Zimbabwe to Zambia, we saw a steady stream of people heading in the other direction with huge supplies of food. Many Zimbabweans head to Zambia and Botswana to shop, because the shelves in their stores are empty.
We spent the night in Livingstone, which is the closest city to the Falls on the Zambia side. The history of poverty is also apparent in Zambia, although the situation has improved in recent years.
The next day we went to the Falls. Unfortunately it was rainy, but it was still lovely and impressive. We did agree, however, that the view from the Zimbabwe side was better (check out our Zimbabwe entry). Take a look at both and see what you think - there are even videos to compare!
The next day we headed on to Malawi, and the bus we took won the "most disgusting transport" award. That said, it was truly worth it, because it brought
Zambia
Victoria Falls - view towards the Zimbabwe sideus to our wonderful next stop - MALAWI!

Photos are missing and are missed. . . . .
Your words and photos certainly help your travels come alive for us, but NONE of the photos came through from Zambia, just black boxes with captions. . . . I certainly hope that you can resend to us your ZAMBIA Blog with the photos, because "each picture (as you well know) is worth a thousand words". Love and Best Wishes from Stan and me, Aunt Joan
