Victoria Falls and now March 2nd in Cape Town

I type to you from Cape Town. Our final destination has been reached! We even have Internet included in our accommodations if you can believe that! Victoria Falls was truly stunning to see and experience. We arrived the first day and went straight to the falls which were right next to our hotel. It is my understanding that they are actually dry during the dry season, but the water was medium high on our visit and ROARING over 300 feet to the bottom. There was so much mist that it created a downpour of rain in most areas unlike any I have experienced. Really quite hard to describe, and as I don't have a water proof camera with me, not easy to photograph either! We are hoping to get some of our electronics back on line, so we can post photos of them. We went back the second day in just swim suits as any attempt to stay dry if you get into the thick of it would be futile with vertical, horizontal and up flowing rain driving at you from all directions. Anyway, a definite highlight for us. There is a good reason it is called the "smoke that thunders".
The second day in the morning we went white water rafting below the falls a few miles on the Zambezi River. Quite a few class 4 rapids. They said 5's for two of them but I would have to say they were 4's. Anyway, that was great for me and Kelly. We were with two English couples (50's) and one Australian gal who was probably 30. All of us were tired after hiking to the base of the canyon. Especially the older ones. One of the English gals looked absolutely terrified for most of the trip. There was no turning back after we got started down this great canyon, so I was feeling quite bad for her quivering lip frequently over the next 2 hours of rafting. We stopped to jump off of a 35 foot cliff (I was the only one to jump from that height) and Kelly and a couple of others jumped from about 15 feet. There was also a rock water slide and just a lot to see. That evening we took a rather boring evening cruise on the upper part of the river, but it was relaxing. That brings us to this morning. One more visit to the falls, and the enjoyment of eating with thieving monkey's that are warded off with limited success by staff with slingshots. They would make dashing runs across the restaurant and steal food off of tables right in front of people. Very entertaining to say the least.
