Hello England!
We arrived today in Victoria Falls after a 11 hour flight first to Jo'Burg then a 2 hour flight transfer. Was shattered when first arrived but after hour kip went a stroll to meet the local wildlife - the first of which were Wild Boar! These were actually wild ones though not like those being served on The Vine menu! Lots of monkeys also (we were told to keep windows shut to stop them coming in!) and lots of elephant dung so presumably we're see some elephants sooner or later! We're exploring Victoria Falls properly later in the week but today we went across the Zambia - Zimbabwe border to view part of them from a bridge. Can't stop being harassed by locals selling us carvings and jewellery and eventually gave in to one after a lot of haggling! Obviously being the minority we're getting some looks! Trying best to blend in however.
Tomorrow we start our overland tour and are off to Hwange National Park to view lots of African wildilife.
Love to all,
Simon and Jessie x
