Day 12: Victoria Falls


For their honeymoon, Thomas and me had decided to offer Mams and Jan two romantic days in Victoria Falls, the most touristy place in all of Zimbabwe. We'd booked them in a nice hotel, Ilala Lodge (at local residents rates, which they had to debate before the manager accepted), with view on the Smoke that Thunders, with the rise of waterclouds, about a minute from the waterfalls and 5 from the centre.  
They came back with loads of stories, how they socialized with the tourist security men, going to the local market to buy fruit,...

They also got to see some wild life, warthogs playing on the field in front of the hotel, and even two big male elephants that decided to linger on the path when they were returning back to the hotel on the first night. Nothing much to do, but do what they do best in Africa: wait and be
 patient.
