Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is known to most people because of the magnificent Victoria Falls – depending on how you measure it the largest waterfalls in the world. The town of Victoria Falls offers all kinds of fun and adventure: white water rafting, bungi jumping, micro-lighting, horse-back riding, and even drinking and partying (unfortunately, I don’t have pictures of the white water rafting). Zimbabwe also has gameparks, the most extensive stone ruins of pre-colonial Sub-Saharan Africa, and the beauty of Lake Kariba.

As mentioned above, Zimbabwe is the country where I did the 111-meter high Bungi jump:

Get ready   ——-   jump  ——-  bounce back  ——-  enjoy!!

One of the most impressive stone monuments in Sub-Saharan Africa: Great Zimbabwe (frankly, it doesn’t quite compare with Egyptian, Mayan, Incan, Chinese, Indonesian ruins…). This is where the country gets its name from.

These are white rhinos in Matopos National Park…

                    

We had a birthday party, at which Rob and Jo (left) and Sue and Tommy (right) had a lot of fun,…

… Elena was very pensive, Pat was in charge of the Sangria, and Sue was in charge of the barbeque.

When it rains, we have to spend time in the truck (this is Tommy being scared by my camera)…

We spent a few nights on a house-boat on Lake Kariba:

I actually did catch a few fish – which tasted really nice, both raw and fried.
