Adrenalin Junkies

Well, it turned out that Vic Falls was almost as terrifying. The Falls are incredible but we were not content to admire them from afar. Oh no. We had to swim in them. In fact, we swam in what is known as the Devil's Pool which is literally right on the point where the Falls, er, fall over the edge. I mean RIGHT on the edge (see Superman pic). Twas rather terrifying but very beautiful. We also went white-water rafting down the Zambezi, which was pretty hairy but pretty cool. I seemed to have a problem staying in the boat and often found myself hurtling towards rocks. We were also on our way to do the Gorge Swing (bit like a bungee but you swing instead of bunge) but the heaven's opened and we had to return to the lodge. The gods must have smelt my fear.

We then spent several days in Cape Town. What an awesome city. Considering moving there. It has everything - culture, beaches, mountains, vistas, great shops and restaurants. I was also very pleased that I was able to buy a comb there as I managed to lose my only hairbrushing tool about a month ago. There are no shops in the bush but I did eventually manage to get hold of an afro comb, which seems to have the opposite effect of a normal comb. So was relieved to tame my already wild hair into something that didn't look like a shape drawn on by a spirograph.

The adrenalin rushes kept on coming as we decided it was time to don another attractive helmet and abseil down Table Mountain. It doesn't look very high but, believe me, it was. The views were amazing when I managed to look down (only twice). Not sure why we had to wear gardening gloves tho. We then set off on the stunning Garden Route and have been shark diving (awesome), whale watching (beautiful) and wine-tasting in the wine regions (lethal for two wine lovers like ourselves). I have never drunk port at 10am before. Honest.
