February 27
Hi all!
Sorry that I haven't been updating as frequently as before. As you know, I'm no longer in Mongu and no longer in clinical. It's a bit harder to remember to blog when I'm so busy having fun!
Here's a bit of a summary of what I've been up to:
Breakfast at the Falls
We traveled to the Royal Livingstone Hotel (look it up!) and took a speed boat to Livingstone Island. From there, we stripped down to bathing attire and went with a guide to the very edge of the falls. This was seriously among the most phenomenal experiences here in Zambia. We crept, swam, and crab-walked into certain danger and waterfall rainbows. It was amazing. After we were done, we enjoyed tea, scones, muffins, and bacon egg benedicts.
Sunset Cruise
We took a two storey boat out on the river and enjoyed (limitless!) drinks for a few hours. It was a great time and we soon required more vodka to be speed-boated out to us. From there, we ventured to FezBar (a Mexican restaurant) for dancing with our Norwegian friends.
High Tea
Back at the $850 USD per night Royal Livingstone (where we obviously aren't staying), we enjoyed unlimited fine teas, cakes, quiches, sandwiches, cookies, and pastries. It was a really great time and I had lots of fun with Sylvia, Esther, Jackie, Nat, Susie, and Rachel.
Botswana Safari
Just today, we drove to Botswana and enjoyed a long boat cruise. Along the way, we found ourselves simultaneously in Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. After breakfast (and lunch!), we went for a game drive and saw many of the 40,000 to 60,000 elephants, hippos, monkeys, birds, giraffes, impalas, hudus, and many other incredible animals. This was by far the best safari that we partook in.
Gorge Swing, Zipline, and Abseiling
This is tomorrow. Stay tuned!
SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE HAVING WAY TOO MUCH FUN:)
