Other wise known as Mosi-oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders), is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and it really is. It is like the Earth cracked and moved, and the falls were created. While it is not the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world, it is classified as the largest, based on its width of 5,604 ft and height of 354 ft, resulting in the world’s largest sheet of falling water.
For our morning tour, we traveled by boat to Livingstone Island. Although we did not swim in the river…remember everyone, I turned 47 last week…we lived vicariously thought the 20 year old somethings. For my final photo album I will photoshop Julie’s and my face on to the women pictured, but of course everyone knows I need Ryan to pull that off.
The middle point in the below pic is what as known as Devils Pool. Individuals will traverse and swim to this pool and literally hang themselves over the edge with some really good friend holding their ankles. The river is too high for us to that…and not really sure we would have. Thank God we did not need to think more about that.
Memorial to David Livingstone, the first European to have discovered the falls on November 17, 1855.

Completing this rendezvous, we set out on our own to get different viewings of the falls. Our hotel is actually one of two, ant they are the closet hotels to the very end of the falls and the views are incredible.
We will cross on this bridge, but at the point the mist is so strong that no photos can be taken.
