Where have we landed?

We have arrived at the last stop on our Africa trip, this morning taken by a driver across the border to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.

The positive thing is that there were no problems at the border; they charge 30 USD for the visa.

This extremely poor country has its own currency, but most people only accept US dollars. As far as I can tell, prices are comparable to those here. Entry to the waterfalls costs just 50 USD per person, while locals pay 1/7 of that, just 7 dollars. We decided not to pay for it.

That was the factual part, before I get too emotional I need to take a deep breath.

It's terrible here...

I was looking forward to a natural spectacle, but what I got was a different kind of nature marketing.

I, and I'm not just expressing my opinion, would NEVER have gone here (Victoria Fells) if we had known what kind of "fairground event" this was. Everything and everyone here has only one goal: to relieve the stupid tourists (of which we are now one) of a few hundred dollars. It's not as if everyone in Namibia were just Samaritans, far from it, but never was there such an obvious and extensive rip-off.

The noise level from the helicopters flying around constantly, non-stop, is so enormous that I have already asked for a quiet room - not really, but maybe this is a new economic idea!?

I've never been to Las Vegas, but that's what I imagine it to be like, at least from the noise.

This end to the holiday couldn't have been much worse, it is something that totally contradicts my idea of a holiday.

It's a shock! Everything is gone at once, the untouched nature, the peace and quiet, all gone at once, we got a bunch of cheeky Americans and their currency in return, a great exchange.

The question that arises is, what do we do tomorrow so that the day is not completely pointless?
