I think my husband might be getting ready to trade me in, as I've been spending so much time "on my blog," but when I started out doing this Vic Falls holiday post, I had no idea it would become so lengthy. My problem, of course, is that there are so many wonderful pictures to choose from and I find it very difficult to have to limit myself. Sometimes I've felt my posts are WAAAAAAAAAAAY too long & that most readers will probably give up long before they get to the end. It's good to know some of you have really been enjoying it :)Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626558959674808582.post-55239876935796767102011-01-17T17:06:23.362+02:002011-01-17T17:06:23.362+02:00Hi Des!

You need to take a Malaria prophylactic and smother yourself in repellent. We also wore long sleeves in the evenings. Everyone sleeps under mosquito nets and burns citronella candles.

I remember walking in the "Victoria falls rainforest" when I was about 10 years old (long time ago) Little did I know that I would be living in a rainforest now! You have really captured the feeling of the place - the fact that there are such layers of life on each tree, with the mosses, creepers and ferns.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626558959674808582.post-31255226302975861762011-01-17T00:39:29.603+02:002011-01-17T00:39:29.603+02:00Really special, curious if there are mosquitoes in...Really special, curious if there are mosquitoes in the area with all the dampness, I would have been eaten alive by bugs.

I've never seen one for real - little recreations in some 'tropical houses' in zoos, that's all. Those butterflies and flowers are brilliant colours.jennyfreckleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12221511824958069710noreply@blogger.com
