Flying over the falls

Decided to take a microlight flight over Victoria Falls yesterday. It was pretty cool, and a little scary. A microlight is basically a hangglider wing with a seat underneath it and a small propeller behind you. I was completely exposed to the air on all sides, just a small seat belt round my waist and my hands holding on the sides. The pilot sat right in front of me and told me all about the falls.

We saw people bathing in a small pool right at the summit, metres away from the edge, and lots of game. I was surprised how many elephanys and hippo you can see up there, and it explains the dead hippo I saw rafting at the base the other day.

Then afterwards had a final meal with the rest of the group before they press on, which was really nice. I was planning to go rafting and riverboarding today, but have developed food poisoning and am able to do very little atm including eating food, so I think the rapids will have to wait. I twisted my neck quite badly when I rafted the other day, and I feel achey all over.
