Row, row, row your boat...

Last stop on the truck tour was Victoria Falls, on the Zambia / Zimbabwe border. The lowlight of Zimbabwe (which seems to be a desparate country, thanks in a big way to Mugabe) was having my day bag stolen, with expensive things like my digital camera, ipod, phone, and more annoyingly things like my journal and addresses (please send me your phone number agin - I've lost them all). It was partly my own stupid fault - I forgot about it and left it lying around in the campsite - but the campsite is walled and has security so it was either a staff member or tourist.

The perfect antidote though, was a day of white water rafting on the mighty Zambezi river with some incredibly huge rapids. It was one of the most fun things I've ever done, even if I thought I was going to die both times the boat got flipped (towards the end we seemed to have the boat under control and stopped getting flipped, which helped!). The scenery was awesome - the river runs through a huge gorge. The climb back out at the end wasn't so fun - the equivalent of a 90 storey building. That was the end of the organised tour (met some cool people - big shout out to y'all), and I hopped on the plane to Johannesburg, South Africa.
