Farewell Zimbabwe!

This morning I woke up at 6:30 thanks to Bens amazing wake up calls. I had scrambled egg sandwiches and jam on toast. After breakfast we went to the school I was coaching at and held a tournament for all the schools that we have been coaching. We got there and set up the pitches. Sami and I taught the kids the Haka. I refereed some of the games on my pitch, however  I may have missed a couple of offsides. None of the teams from my school made it to the final the tournament was very competitive! Cassie's team won and were very happy! There were a few tears from the team that came second! After the tournament we went to the camp we were staying in and packed up quickly then had lunch for the last time in Zimbabwe. 

We said our goodbyes and headed to the border back into Zambia. We had to walk across the border and got to see Victoria Falls. Then once we were past border force, we made our way to Fawlty Towers Hotel and went to our rooms to unpack. We are staying in dorm with bunkbeds. There are a lot of Mosquitos in Livingstone, so I have applied a lot of bug spray!

Dinner was a BBQ, we had boerewors, chicken with a jacket potato and salad which was really tasty! We have cleared up from dinner and are now getting ready for bed as we have a big tournament day tomorrow!

This is George W signing out!

    Well done everyone, but especially to Coach Cassie and team! What a glorious photo of the children celebrating their victory. Loving all these photos; the one of you all on your last day in Zimbabwe is superb and one you'll all no doubt treasure. For Lily: so proud of what you're doing and achieving, it must be hard saying goodbye to the children after spending so much time with them. We're looking forward to seeing you - not long now! - next week. Enjoy the Falls tomorrow and the river cruise. Don't forget the sunscreen - remember the beach at West Wittering :) xxx

 Good evening ladies and gentlemen!! Today we present to you the 2nd to last blog of Zambia, so we are expecting plenty of comments (cough cough, the Donaldson's, you have been very quiet!!) We started off with a late breakfast...it was supposed to be at 7:30 but was served at 8:20! All the boys had a lazy sleep in because Ben, their alarm, ignored his own alarm and did not wake them up! At 10am we set of for our big trip to Vicky Falls, it was nice and moist...! We got up close and personal with the baboons! We began by hiking down to the Boiling Pot which was a torturous hike through the baboon ridden jungle up and over rocks and through streams! It was all worth it as we were treated to stunning views of the bottom of the falls!! After we hiked back up through the baboon ridden jungle we crossed the Knife-Edge Bridge and broke into uncontrollable laughter as Amelie stacked it on the bridge which we caught from multiple camera angles!! Once we stopped laughing we were treated to ...
