yeah so the last couple of days have been pretty groovy! we paddle the upper sections of the zam, from 7.5-10, but portaging 9 as i saw a good 3 ways where you could easily die! instead we got out and sat in a little pool just meters away from all this thundering water!! was incredible!
then yesterday we paddled from rapid 1-7, and managed to huke up and paddle right below vic falls!! was so beautiful! tons of raging water crashing infront of you creating alot of mist, a giant rainbow over head and two rapids comming in from eithr side and coliding to create some interesting currents! then we headed on down, withs ome big but not to scary rapids, appart from 4 which john got completely beaten on and swam and i ended up running upside down! then when we got off the river we drove back to the backpackers lodge on top of the truck, trying to avoid low branches and electric wires, before finishing the day with a bry at a friends house lounging by the pool! well i was pratically unconscious with heat stroke, but it was still lovley!
then that brings us to today which is a rest day so we dont burn ourselves out. so im just chilling, went on a walking safari in the morning and saw all manner of animals, but no big cats =/! did you know crocadiles can dioe of stress? crazy huh?
so yeah thats what ive been up to! the next few days we are gonna paddle down the river and camp by rapid 10 and are spending new years eve by the river so should be amazing!
hope you all start the new year well!
God bless!!
ps i would get some pics up but this comp wont let me upload them!
pps yeah bobs dont worry i can pick up an AK pretty cheap on the market; the ranger today said he uses them for poachers not for animals!!
