Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls just does not feel like Zimbabwe. Everywhere you go you have to pay in US Dollars. If you want to pay in Zimdollars, which makes the stay much cheaper, they look you like you are crazy and then you have to show your local ID which they make a copy of. Even to get a beer in a pub.

Supermarket shelves are empty as well but in the hotel you can get virtually everything you want and there always seems to be power and water.

But apart from that the Vic Falls itself are amazing, the national park is great and the mighty Zambesi is pretty mighty!

Back at Harare airport first thing we notice, no water in the toilets. Welcome back to Zimbabwe!
