Victoria
Falls, Zimbabwe
After
a 90 minute flight we arrived at the Victoria Falls Airport and
quickly got on line to purchase our double entry visas. After that
and a greeting by some native dancers, it was a short drive to the
Victoria Falls Hotel for a three night stay at this very stately
British retreat where the spray of the Falls could be seen in its
full glory and the manicured grounds were a feast for the eye. We
settled in and had a chance to unpack and then it was a quick trip to
the entrance of the Victoria Falls park. We were given full-length
rain ponchos to keep us dry, or at least to keep us from getting
completely soaked from the spray which is like a downpour when the
wind blows at just the right angle.
My
words will not do justice to describing the grandeur and majesty of
Victoria Falls. Their sheer magnitude and awe-inspiring power left us
giddy and the rainbow that
welcomed us lit up the sky with its magical presence.

Dr. Livingstone (I presume) upon seeing Victoria Falls is thought to have said, "Scenes so lovely must be gazed upon by angels in their flight." Aren't you lucky to have gotten an angel's view! I too have been there - several times - and am always caught in its magic.
