BLOG 15 - DAY 36, 37 & 38

DAY 36
Today involved packed lunches and a stop at a mall that resulted in Sav buying a jumpsuit and myself buying a jersey. Since it was our last night before arriving in Livingstone: a night of celebrating was in order. To celebrate the bond and friendships we had formed that will never disappear. I am even getting emotional typing this, which I should feel lame about but instead it makes me so happy as I've had such a great time getting to know all my new friends that i am so grateful to have.  Shouting/singing to songs we know all the words to, dancing like crazy people, many cheers and an infinite amount of smiles. Going to sleep i felt sad, knowing change was soon to happen (i'm a severe creature of comfort, the idea of goodbyes crushes me)

DAY 37
I sat in the front of Kavango with Ben, i always enjoy his conversation and music. We stopped at a mall near The Waterfront- our Livingstone campsite. After hearing from George that meals at the camps restaurant cost $10 each (which is cheap in everyone elses eyes but expensive for Sav and I). Ourselves, Georgia and Emily (the australian sisters) decided to rather buy some food that we could prepare ourselves, we probably spent less than $10 each for the food that would feed us for the whole three days and nights. I must admit, I tried a piece of someones pizza, and it was delicious but our meal plan was much kinder to our budgets. Although we as a group were all still 'together' we had new groups: those going to Johannesburg and those of us going to Cape Town with new people.  Our final pft(plan of action for tomorrow) involved us learning about all the optional activities available which ranged from bungee jumping to helicopter rides.

DAY 38
Most of us spent the majority of the day in Zimbabwe to see Victoria Falls from that side. The mist and rain provided a great shower, we were super soaked. The National Park had long pathways and many viewing points to show off the waterfalls beauty. We passed through a market on the way back to Zambia. It's incredibly strange to just walk from one country to another, especially for all the Australians who always have to fly to get to another country. We spent the evening relaxing around the pool and deck area.
