Victoria Falls

It was really a great and long journey. After having passed the vast green lands, we entered Zambia, the country of Victoria Falls, the country of the generous people who are remarkably renowned for their hospitality.

It was almost midday,when we got down from the bus and touched the soil of Livingstone city, the region of Victoria Falls. It's situated in the eastern part of Zambia. The weather was magnificent, very soothing with a moderate temperature. Getting off the bus, we yearned for a safe and friendly accommodation. Thanks to the help of locals, we very soon became capable of finding a calm and quiet hostel: Livingstone Backpackers. With an enormous open-space and a swimming pool, our lodge was presenting itself an attractive location for spending time in full relaxation. In brief, it is a small worldly  heaven for fatigue travelers. Though, the first impression has faded at night when lots of mosquito attacked us and the authority failed to provide us the mosquito-nets. In the middle of the night, we, being horrified of mosquito's sting, came out of the hostel and longed for finding out any shop from where we could buy mosquito-coil or aerosol. Finally we discovered an about-to-close supper mall and bought our highly desired mosquito killer product. We at last could save ourselves from passing a sleep-less night. Later I never forgot to suggest others, who came across to me for tips on traveling Africa in particular Zambia, for carrying aerosol or mosquito-net.

The following morning, after having breakfast hurriedly, we started our day-long trip to Victoria Falls. We had hired a cab up to falls with a condition that if we would encounter with any eye-catching tourist-spot, he, the cab-driver, might be bound to take a pause and supposed to wait till the completion of our short tour. We stopped him two times locating scenic spots; but taking few photos and being introduced with the places, without spending much time we commenced our travel to our principal destination. We actually could not wait for long and it was tough to resist our temptation to reach this wonderful place being remarkably delayed.

When we parked our cab in front of the main gate of Victoria Falls, it was almost mid of the day. We felt so great that we forgot all the hassles we confronted at the time of our tour particularly the fuss of managing visa to enter Zambia. After reaching here, we could realize that if one tries to get something from core of heart, none can deprive him/her of earning it. 

There are a lot of trees in the area. The sourrounding is green, slightly cold but the whole area is quite charming with the chirping of birds and deep and vibrant resonance of the falls. We rushed to the source of the sound and became astonished seeing the mind-blowing water falls.
