The view is certainly amazing though one gets rather wet when standing close by.</div> <bR> <div> <I>Victoria vandfaldet ligger på grænsen mellem Zambia og Zimbabwe, og mens vandfaldet hverken er det højeste eller bredeste i verden, så påstås det, at vandfaldet former det største 'lagen' af faldende vand i verden med en bredde på 1.7 km og højde på 108 meter. Udsigten er bestemt fantastisk selvom man bliver noget våd af at stå tæt på.</I></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="770" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 211 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="49b32cc0.jpg" border=0 width="306" height="204" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="49e11cc0.jpg" border=0 width="273" height="204" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="49d9bcd0.jpg" border=0 width="155" height="205" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> There are lots of things to do at the Vic Falls; other than seeing the Falls and meeting Dr Livingstone, who was here of course, you can bungy jump from the bridge and do other scary stuff.</div> <bR> <div> <I>Der er mange forskellige aktiviteter her; udover at se vandfaldet og møde Dr Livingstone, som selvfølgelig var her, så kan du også bungy jumpe fra broen og prøve andre skræmmende ting.</I></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="766" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 349 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="4a21b560.jpg" border=0 width="283" height="342" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="4a0c9570.jpg" border=0 width="457" height="343" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> We didn't do that.
