Today started early, up by 6 and off to breakfast (which was much better than dinner at the same place the night before). But as we were eating out on the veranda, the sun was just coming up through the mist of Victoria Falls. It was one of those moments that you just know is going to be a memory that you keep the rest of your life. It was one of the most beautiful natural scenes I have ever witnessed in my life.

We then caught a bus to our first excursion, an elephant ride (they call it a safari, we did see water buffalo and bush buck, but safari, I am not thinking so). It was really fun and a great experience. Alexis and Shelly shared an elephant, I was stuck (stuck in a good way) on Jock, the dominant male of the herd. For about an hour we rode through the bush, Jock stopped every so often to eat and push down a tree. It was really amazing to feel the power these animals have as the do what is so normal to them. When we were done we had breakfast and watched our video of the ride. We bought the video, an elephant foot print (Emily, the one Alexis and Shelly rode) and a butter pot. Do you know what a butter pot is, it is awesome, that is what it is. Then back on the bus to the hotel.

Part 2 of the day later.
