Victoria Falls

So Vic Falls is one crazy place. From the picture you can see it's quite a waterfall, even in the dry season. The pictures of the fall in the wet season looks like a wall of water falling miles long. This photo was taken from my 15-minute helicopter ride, my final costly "adventure" booked in made-for-tourism town, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

"Zimbabwe?" you say with a look of surprise. Yes, Zimbabwe. Not real Zimbabwe, just the border town where they milk visitors. The tour truck took us directly to Shearwater Adventures, where I forked over $220 to walk with lions, riverboard/whitewater raft, and ride in a helicopter over the falls.
