What a magnificent natural wonder of the world is Victoria Falls. We spent the morning touring by land and the afternoon in an exhilarating helicopter ride hovering over the spectacular scenery below.

My sister, Gail, was in a terrible auto accident at the tender age of 26. Her miraculously ‘saved’ ankle, now fused, has led to some additional navigation challenges-so we FINALLY convinced her to take a wheel chair for this walking tour!! Thank you ‘Angel’ ( such an appropriate name and her personal chariot driver) for making her journey to Victoria Falls possible. Gail never missed a ‘navigational moment’ what a TROOPER!!!

In the afternoon Gail and I toasted her next birthday with a helicopter flight above this amazing topography. The helicopter ride topped off our African modes of transportation…open air jeep rides, Mokoro dugout canoes, hot air balloon ride, bush plane fights, private touring vehicles. and good old walking-:)!!

I will allow the pictures to speak for themselves…including the stately statue of the infamous Dr. Livingston….”I presume”🤗🤗🤗!!!

Ohhh my gosh, Robin…don’t fall….

….and from the air….

We spotted you hippos …just basking in the African sun…

The village of Victoria Falls found some interesting glimpses, including the fact that KFC found its way there…

Then our last night in Africa we experienced the traditional BOMA and loved the fun of the bongos…

Off to pack …beginning our farewells to this magnificent and exciting African experience. Girls Going Wild in Africa is soon to become an amazing memory, We are each SO blessed to have our health and to be able to share this experience🙏❤️!!

Karel’s philosophical reflection of the day…if you are still reading along…

Shared experiences of bonding certainly do not have to be exotic, as you all already know, they can happen right in our own backyards, neighborhoods, workplaces, schools and communities. We just have to have the courage to embrace each moment as a unique gift and blessing from God….truly appreciating those moments for what they are.
