Loading ...New Goal: Victoria Falls
Written by Brian David Crane on April 11th, 2008
Adding the following to my list of life goals. From Forbes Life:
But the must-do activity at Tongabezi (Zambezi) is a morning, lunch, or teatime visit to Livingstone Island, the place from which Dr. Livingstone became the first European to view Victoria Falls. If you are feeling brave, a guide will lead you into the river on a rock-hop and short swim to the Devil’s Pool, a sort of eddying whirpool, maybe eight feet in diameter, that is inches from the stone lip of the Falls. You jump into the pool from a rock and, held by its eddy, can actually lean your head and chest over the 300-foot falls - the world’s greatest falling curtain of water and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World - with the cataract pouring out from under you, thundering onto the rocks below and sending a mist boiling around you out of the chasm to 100 feet in the air. In a long life of physical thrills, this was for me one of the top.
Sitting in an eddy pool looking over a 300-foot drop at Victoria Falls sounds pretty amazing to me!
