More of the Falls and Highway to Bungee

These falls are absolutely breathtaking and watching the water constantly fall in what is essentially a panorama in front of you is some kind of mesmerizing. They stretch for almost two kilometers (a little over a mile) and at its highest point the water falls 108 meters (355 feet) down into a crevice where it continues carving cliffs throughout the African landscape. I know I spoke about being mesmerized by water before, but this was something else. It deserves to be one of the seven natural wonders of the world. It was magical watching giant sheets of water constantly fall, and it was the rainy season when we went so it was FULL.

I have never been to Niagara Falls, but I am aware of all the photos people take on the ferry in ponchos getting absolutely soaked. Some of the vistas at Victoria Falls were just as bad, which in some areas was quite scary because of how slippery it became and how high up we were. If you fell, you most likely will die, so keeping this in mind I decided not to climb up on a pile of rocks to get a better view, and we continued down the path to the end. Here you could see the Victoria Falls Bridge (which you can see in the featured image of this article) which in the middle was where the bungee jumping was, and on the other side of the bridge was Zambia. The day before I got a voucher for bungee jumping, which cost $165 (sheesh) but I just knew if there was any time to do it, it was here and now.

Me and my mother walked back on the path towards the entrance through this isolated jungle environment in a rather somber mood because it is hard to leave such a place. But the day had to go on and I had things I wanted to do. We checked out the gift shop, found the exit, and were on our way.
