1 May 2015 ~ Victoria Falls (via Foot)

Listening to: Gregory Isaacs ~ Night Nurse


I fixed the first video from yesterday's post. And yes, they are technically baboons.

Victoria Falls, or Mosi-oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders), has a height of 355 ft at the center.

While it is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world, it is classified as the largest, based on its width of 5,604 ft and height, resulting in the world's largest sheet of falling water. Victoria Falls is roughly twice the height of North America's Niagara Falls and well over twice the width of its Horseshoe Falls.

Here's a very short video to give a little closer experience.

This bridge connects Zambia and Zimbabwe. The unpainted side is the Zimbabwe side.

David Livingstone, the Scottish missionary and explorer, is believed to have been the first European to view Victoria Falls on 16 November 1855 from what is now known as Livingstone Island, one of two land masses in the middle of the river, immediately upstream from the falls on the Zambian side. My friends went out into the island, but I chose not to.
