We whiled away our final afternoon at

Sausage Tree Safari Camp…

…being entertained by a young

African dance troupe.

 

Whilst in New Zealand’s Rotorua, we decided

to pay a visit to the

Whakarewarewa Maori Village

 

Prior to leaving the village we were enertained by

Village Dancers.

 

This couple were dancing their hearts out

in Zimbabwe’s

Victoria Falls Village

Something a little more sedate was discovered in

Germany’s Rhine Valley Region…

…at the Black Forest

Cuckoo Clock Factory.

Finally, a fire dancer, and a…

…Belly Dancer provided after dinner entertainment

at the Dubai, Desert Safari.

A repost …Yes!

However, it will always remind me of just

how little protection we had from

nocturnal wildlife in Africa.

 

During my teaching years I have often had

young primary classes act out

The Three Billygoats Gruff

and never once did I stop to think of

the troll’s appearance.

 I found this troll at a troll shop in

Norway, in June 2023.

 

Margerie Glacier

Glacier Bay

Inside Passage

Alaska.

 

Victoria Falls from the above.

Twenty minutes and several hundred shots

made this the most memorable experience

of our first African Safari.

Ladders…of sorts

A helicopter was the ideal way to see

all of Victoria Falls

 

The Grand Staircase at Paronella Park,

Queensland

 

Hot Air Balloons

Steps at Melbourne’s

Southern Cross Railway Station.

Fortunately, there are also up and down

escalators, as well

A few years ago this was the view

from street level.

Angry…

…seas at Torquay.

Near Torquay, I captured this wave as it broke

making it appear larger than it actually was.

This scarred African landscape depicts other Victoria Falls sites

created as the Zambezi River eroded away the rock face

of previous fall sites.

 

The Devil’s Cataract, in the foreground, and on

the Zimbabwean side of the Falls is said to be

where the current falls are beginning to erode

the rock face thereby creating a new Victoria Falls.

At 7cm per year, we will be visiting the current site

for many more years.

 

Mother nature appears to be holding the sun,

not wanting it to rise from the water.

A spectacular rural sunset.
