During our journey in Livinstone - Zambia we went to see the Victoria Falls from Zambia side but also from Zimbabwe side!
We had a visa taking up a whole page in our passeports only for 3h spending in Zimbabwe, it has lots of stamps and shiny foil on it, so we don't feel to bad handing over $30 for this visa.
We crossed the bridge and we saw the stunning vue of Victoria Falls (The Smoke That Thunders, sas the locals call it) which is much beautiful from this side. If you ever go you must see the Zimbabwe side by far much better, in fact you can stay in Zimbabwe as the village is very close to the falls and perfectly set up for tourists. Another bonus is its hard to change or get dolars in Africa, but as the local currency has collapsed in Zimbabwe the cash machines simply give out US dollar. (you think they realised inflation had fucked there currency when they started printing ten trillion Zim Dollar notes!)
So i think it's the shorter time we spent in our life in a country but it was definitely worth it.
Its is so powerful to see the falls now, and this is low water so around 300 cubis meters of water per second go over the falls. During high water yo ucould not take these pictures as there would be to much spray ar 9000 (thats right 9000) cubic meters of water a second go over the falls! This truly is one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
