Flew over Victoria Falls in a helicopter and it was breathtaking. Absolutely, 10 out of 10. I understand why it is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
In the afternoon, went on an elephant back safari and saw my first wildlife sighting of a family of giraffes. We were able to feed the elephant...those trunks are wet!!
We also had a refreshing cocktail on the banks of the Zambezi River.
We are now in Botswana... it is heaven on earth...Chobe National Park is teeming with animals...so far have seen many elephants, impala, kudo, lions, giraffe, hippos. The scenery is spectacular. Need to stock up with provisions for 9 days in the bush. Wish me luck. So far it is a trip of a lifetime. I am definately drinking from the cup of life. Pinch me is this real...saw two lions stalking an impala...it was just like National Geographic.
Lots of Love,
Julie

Hi Julie, sounds like a real adventure. I am curious as to what year that the Impala was (I didn't think that they made them anymore) and whether or not lions would be even capable of driving one. And if so, where would they go? Don't venture away from the camp! And please post some photos when you get a chance. Take care and play safe, Darryl.
Hi Julie,
Botswana sounds amazing. Friends who went there said it was the best place to see animals in a very natural environment. It is about 20 below (windchill) this morning in Ottawa, and walking downtown is very difficult due to the icy sidewalks. You will probably not experience this problem in southern Africa! Spoke to Heather this morning and she is counting the days until her break with you in Capetown. Have a great time in Botswana.
