Victoria Falls


Victoria Falls Bridge, originally uploaded by Tak from HK.

This is the end of my overland truck tour. Three weeks have been spent on the truck where laughing never end. Really enojoy every moment and I do miss everyone!

Victoria Falls, at the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, spans 1.7km and drop over 100m cliff. However, the water level is low during this season. So, it is not so spectacular.

I did one of the best adventure activities, rafting the Zambezi rapids in the Victoria Falls which is very exciting!

P.S. I had also do Bungi jumping from the Victoria Falls Bridge which is just between the border.

Harare


Harare, originally uploaded by Tak from HK.

It is surprisingly easy to pass the border to Zimbabwe and back to my HKSAR passport.

And, this is my first time to take a ride by truck, heading to Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe.

Many stories were heard before my trip to Zimbabwe: No food in the shop, lacking fuel for car, water shortage, the official exchange rate of USD to Zim dollar is 1 to 250 while the parallel market is 1:200,000, etc.

And the situation is not so bad when I arrived. This is true that I cannot find Coke in the city centre, the menu has separate pages for the prices due to the huge inflation rate.
