Like we mentioned in the last post, this morning we took a boat to Livingstone Island, a tiny island perched on the edge of the falls, which is where David Livingstone first witnessed the Falls. We took a small motor boat to the island, following a specific path that avoided the worst of the rapids and landing at the island, only a few feet from the edge of the falls. Our guide took us and an Australian couple around the island, and we literally stood on the rock ledge that is the last point of land before the sheer cliff of the falls. We then went swimming in a small pool of water 5 feet away from the edge of the falls. It was amazing! We'll show some pictures since our description does not do it justice (Moms, don't freak out- we are safely back on shore!).
Afterwards, we had a fancy breakfast under a tent on the island that was boated over from one of the resorts along the river. The whole experience was awe-inspiring and definitely a highlight of our time here. Now our time here at the Falls has come to an end, and we are so glad we had the opportunity to experience it. Next up: South Africa!
