…gstone, Zambia, originally uploaded by garybembridge. Considering that the Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and a World Heritage site and so a massive tourist attraction, it is sad to see that the area in and around Livingstone in Zambia seems to be so poor.

This is my most favourite thing I have ever seen (so far). But loved Niagara! See all my photos of the Niagara Fall…

Sheraton on the Falls at Niagara Falls Canada. Amazing views!

…lls, which is on the Canadian side, recently. What a view! View of Niagara Falls from Sheraton on the Falls Hotel I spent a bit more to ensure that I booked a room which was described as one of their Falls View rooms. I am very pleased that I did. Take a look at my video tour and review to see more:   I figured that I may likely only ever go to the Niagara falls once, and so it was worth spending a bit to have an amazing view.

BUNGEE JUMPING OFF THE VICTORIA FALLS BRIDGE ZAMBIA/ ZIMBABWE

…09 trip to Zambia, Mark (my partner) did the bungee jump off the bridge at Victoria Falls between Zambia and Zimbabwe. This is one of the highest jumps in the world. It is so high and very scary.

In these 2 videos, you see Mark doing this jump as it should be (and it is very scary ev…
