Katie and I went on a helicopter ride over the Victoria Falls today. It was so awesome!! The falls are so beautiful from the sky. Neither of us have been in a helicopter either so that was really cool too. When we got back we all went to see Victoria Falls from the Zimbabwe side. You can only see half of the falls from each side because the river is in the middle of them. The river is also what divides Zambia and Zimbabwe. We then relaxed at the hotel pool the rest of the afternoon.
We flew the red and black route while we were in the helicopter. We flew around the falls 2 times and then up the Zambezi river 4km.

I didn't take this picture. This is a picture of the falls in low water (it is very high water right now) just to give you an idea of the difference in the water levels.
Getting off the helicopter. We survived. Neither of us had ever been in a helicopter before.
