On Mayday we went to Livingstone for a week. We stayed in Falty Towers which is a backpakers-hostel. It was cozy but food there wasn`t very good but was cheap, so it didn`t really bother us and there were lot of nice restaurants just outside.

On Sunday we went to see the Victoria falls world heritage side. The Falls' local name is Mosi-oa-Tunya which means the smoke that thunders and that is what it is like. We walk around the national park and we got totally soaked because it was like beeing in shower. After that we went abseiling which was very nice. Paula also did a gorge swing.

Next day in afternoon we went to sunset ”booze” cruise on river Zambezi. It took 2,5 hours and we could drink as much as we wanted. We also see couple animals :) After that we went to see how is Livingstone nightlife.

Tuesday morning we went quad biking and we had lot of fun! We got very muddy because last night it was raining. After that we went to the bridge to do some extreme activities. First we did a slide over the rapids, then we did 111m bungee jumps from the bridge. It was very scary but felt great, it felt like we got the wings for 30 seconds (or how Pippa says it was like being a human jojo). We think that the only mistake was to do it when we were hangower, because Pippa felt very sick after the jump.

We also went for a helicopter flight over the falls. The falls looked fantastic from helicopter. Last afternoon we also went to walk with lions.

Allover we had great time in Livingstone and it was shame that we had to come back already on thursday. We had some proplems with visas so we had to go the immigration office on Friday. But it's all sorted out now and we dont have worry about anything here anymore.

And aswers to your questions:

The best experiences here have been the trip to Livingstone, quad biking and a bungee jump.

We haven't been anywhere else than Malawi and we are not planning other trips outside the country because we haven't had enough time.

Next two weeks we'll be in labour ward and we'll tell about it next time.

  1. I'm really getting envious...reading your stories and thinking what you've learnt and experienced there. Should I start studying nursing so that I could also take part in student exchange?!
    The course ended last week, some students have commented your blog and asked you questions. They've given me very positive feedback - everyone has really enjoyed reading your adventures in Africa. Good work!
    See you in August. Take care. Teacher
