Victoria Falls




Victoria Falls (this part is solid water during the rainy season)


These are the biggest waterfalls in the world.  They are called Victoria Falls.  There’s like 10 other parts of Victoria Falls.  The first one would be like to the left about 5 feet off of the computer screen.  And that one was separated from the others by a big stretch of land. And then there’s like 5 others that are separated by little rocks.  Then there’s one that is by itself a little farther down to the right.  And then there are 3 separated by land and then there are the ones in the picture.  Victoria Falls has a big spray that gets you when you’re at the gate.  Then when you look out at the waterfall about ¼ mile from the gate, it sprays you like it’s raining when you look out over the falls.

This was a shear cliff without railings!


At the gate there were lots of monkeys and baboons.  A baboon and 2 monkeys had babies and the babies held on to their moms’ stomachs.

When I went to Victoria Falls I had to go into Zimbabwe.  In Zimbabwe you used to need lots of money to buy stuff so a 100 trillion dollar bill was worth like a gum ball.  Now they are using U.S. dollars.











Today at the Japanese family’s house where I do Japanese I collided with Elliot while going out the gate.





Just kidding!
