Hit the Road Jack...

We just got back from our A-MAZ-ING trip to Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park in Botswana, and also Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe. It was really amazing, beautiful and gorgeous! So prepare yourselves for lots of posts and LOTS of pictures. I really loved being over there, and will miss this when we leave next summer.

First off, let's just start with the basics of driving 9 hours from Harare to the town of Victoria Falls. It's always fun to see what we see while driving. This time I took lots of pictures while we were driving so you guys could get a sense of what it really is like here, most likely you won't get the full affect, but close enough. :)

We had to drive through downtown to get out of the city in the right direction and while driving, I thought it would be nice for everyone to see our church's stake offices which are downtown in this building with other offices. But here is a picture of it, right above the bus is the sign that says The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Here is downtown Harare! It does look nice, and in some areas it's like you are downtown of any major city.

We saw so many baboons on the road while we were driving, and even more donkeys, cows and goats.

What the dry season looks like.

Can you see the smoke? It's from the fields being burned before the rainy season starts (which did start last night with our first thunderstorm!).

Umm...yeah read that sign, and then look at the picture.

...and...here are the wild animals. :)

We also saw lots of people walking along the road.

Beware: Impala Crossing!

Beware: Elephant crossing!!

More baboons and people in the background. Yep, people were still walking around in these areas where baboons and elephants were suppose to be crossing.

Finally we reached Victoria Falls!!!
