22 riding days to go: "30 hungry cyclists"

We arrived in Livingstone, Zambia, two days ago and have had an amazing time in Africa's adventure capital.  As in Addis Ababa, the five-star hotel here has a gorgeous breakfast spread which was attacked for two mornings by at times 30 HUNGRY cyclists.  It was quite a sight of mass consumption. 

Afterward I walked the hotel grounds where you can get remarkably close to wild zebras and within 20 metres of giraffes and impala's, not to mention baboons which were storming around everywhere.

A monkey swooped out of a tree and grabbed a womans chocolate covered waffle, and immediately started to inhale it.  I think he had seen how our group ate and replicated that.

Today I was in the sky in an ultralight circling above Victoria Falls.  It was a spectacular sight to see from the  air, it is impossible to describe just how big the falls are.

This time of year the water was very high which inhibited ground vewing as the mist is so thick, but from above it was still very clear.

To finish off a great day a group of us went for a bungee jump off the Victoria Falls gorge bridge.  It was my first time bungee jumping, and it was remarkeably peaceful. Once off the platform things are completely out of your control so you had might as well enjoy the ride! 

Tomorrow morning we are off for Botswana.  We are down to I believe 22 riding days until we roll into capetown.

Keep the rubber side down
