Part 3 Day 2 Trip to Livingstone

Part 3- day 2:
Well, I have to admitt, i was kind of hopeing that we wouldn't have
any more adventures How lame, right? Any way, it was cold seasom in
Zambia, and in the mornigns, it is cold! I got out of bed, and I
nearly froze!( I like to exgagerate.) But it was freezing. We were
planning a trip to Vic falls, a high tea at Livingstone Island(if you
dont know where that is, look it up! It will help you appreciate what
I will say later. So some how we managed to get dressed, and bundle
up, and go to the Lodge Resturant for a buffet breakfast. It was
yummy! So we got a taxi to Vic falls! To me, it is the best time to
visit, because that is when the spry is hardest, and there is this
tiny bridge, and it is so slippery,and when you walk across it, you
get soaked to the skin!( Mom wore a poncho, but what is the point of
going to Vic Falls in the heaviest season, and not get wet? Any one
agree with me?) I didn't wear a poncho, and I got soaked! it was
awesome! Afterward, we went to the market before the gates of
entering Vic Falls. They have so many cool crafts and things! It is
awesome! And the coolest thing is that they accept american dollars
which is great because I had a few! I got a gold snake shaped ring.
it is so pretty! We got back to our ladge, and relaxed.

Livingstone trip, PART 2- Continue of day 1

So, we were supposed to arrive at 3 in the afternoon, but we arrived
at 7! It was a very long trip, and Dad said though a text that we
were going to fly back! YEEE HAAA! At the bus stop, it was pitch
dark, and our taxi driver wasn't there yet. So, we waited at the
pitch dark bus station in the middle of down town. You know, after
all we had been though, I was actually beginning to think that our
taxi driver had forgotten about us. We had only been waiting a couple
minutes, but after all our adventures right after another, why not,
huh? Well, thankfully he didn't forget about us! He was very nice,
and sorry for being late! He drove us to our lodge, where we were
going to drop of our stuff and go to dinner. And surprise, surprise,
the power was out! And, to make it more scary, the lodge was in the
middle of a game park, so hippos and elephants and monkeys just rome
around this place Now, we were walking through the pitch dark, going
to our chalet, feeling like we were going to bump into a rhino! Note:
NOT a good feeling! So, we got to our chalet, we dropped off our
stuff, and we got back into the taxi. It was then around 8, when we
got to Olga's, the Italian restaurant where we were going to eat. We
got some pesto pasta, and ate it with out anything interesting
happening, except for the power going off and quickly coming back on.
When we finished, we got back into the taxi and prayed that the power
would be on then we got back. And unfortunately, in wasn't. There
was only 1 candle in out chalet, so it would be a very dark night!
But guess what! While we were at the front desk, the power came back
on! YAAAAAAAAAA! So we walked back to our chalet, feeling
triumphant and safe! We got into our chalet, and turned the light on.
Uh Oh. Surprise surprise, the light bulb was not working. It
looked like we would have to wait until morning. Thankfully the one
in the bathroom was working! So we settled into our cozy, cute
chalet, and went to sleep.
