Difference of Victoria Falls


It is June and a while ago we went to Livingstone. We went driving.  The drive was a little bit faster than last time when we went with Papa and Grandma and Nana in October 2008 because the road was better.  We saw the new road they are building and also most of the big potholes were filled.  The drive was about 6 hours and thirty minutes.
When we got there we were going to stay at Maramba River Lodge but we stayed at the Zambezi Sun instead; that way we could just walk to the falls instead of having to drive.  And so we DID walk to the falls.....but there was a difference!
This time if you wanted to cross the bridge you would get SOAKED and you could see lots and lots of mist going UP but not the water going DOWN.  You could see rainbows -- we saw two at the same time.   When we came in October it was dry and super hot.  It had not rained in Zambia since March -- in 8 months -- and the Zambezi River was not very full.
We did not take a lot of pictures because mom's camera would get wet.  Daddy broke a camera when he came to Livingstone once before we moved to Zambia.
