Hello !
Livingstone was great but even greater were the falls ...
I first visited the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side, boy what a magnificant sight !
And what a power, the water falling 107 meters down at the highest point, bringing a lot of water in the air, I was so wet ...
Even my camera which was in a plastic bag was wet, so wet it didn't work anymore
...
Thank god later that night it was partly working again, now I cannot review my pictures, I hope they are stored on my memory card
Next day I cycled into Zimbabwe, my fiftieth country where I cycled !
And I visited the falls again, this side of the falls is even better with better overall vieuws, I couldn't get enough from it.
Together with the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Arches NP and Monument valley ( yes, you have to go to America one of the best wonders of nature I saw sofar
From Victoria Falls I cycled to Kasane in Botswana.
Many people warned me for the elephants on this road and when I was 1 km out of town the first elephant poop was on the road, looking fresh ...3.8 km later I saw 2 elephants crossing the road, I sped up and had a great sight of them, maybe 50 meters away.
And this was a massive bull, very big !
Playing with my camera ( it didn't work ) I looked up and they were gone into the bushes.
But a couple of km furter I saw another one, I took a picture and went even closer but then the elephant looked at me,
turned around and ran away !
Hahaha, chickenshit
Running away for a white man hahaha.
But great it was !
Tomorrow I will go on a game drive in Chobe NP and then cycle to Nata, 312 km furter.
I think I will see many more wild life, many people warn me for lions but then I show them my wooden stick for protection and we have a great laugh
The road to Nata is a challenge, with 200 km of nothing ...
I have for 20 liters water bottles, it will be a record for me carrying that much water !
From Nata I will go west, to Gweta and Maun, then south to Ghanzi and west again into Namibia.
But first tomorrow morning, a 3 1/2 hour game drive !
Can't wait
Cheers !

Heeft ie dat hele stuk al gefietst?.. hij neemt nergens de trein?Hij heeft het vliegtuig genomen over midden-Afrika. Dat was niet zn bedoeling maar hij had het zo slecht naar zn zin dat het in zijn beleving óf terug naar huis was, óf een stuk overvliegen, en dat heeft ie gedaan. Nu heeft ie het weer super naar zn zin, dus is een goeie keus geweest.

en waarom had ie het niet naar z'n zin dan?.. wat was er mis met midden afrika?Op zich niks.. maar rotjaar (onze moeder ziek en overleden) achter de rug en dat ging allemaal even opspelen. En dan in midden-Afrika met heel veel saai, langgerekt landschap. Hij kwam zichzelf iets teveel tegen.
