After our relaxation, we got ready for our high tea on Livingstone Island. I was really excited, because I had never been to a high tea before. Now is when you should look up Livingstone Island, because it will take way to long to explain to you where and what it is. So we went to the Royal Livingstone hotel, and seriously, only the royal stay there! It is $400 per night! And VERY fancy! Any way, so we were going to take a boat to Livingstone Island. So we got in the boat and started speeding full speed towards the edge of the falls. Livingstone Island is right on the edge of the falls. It is the place David Livingstone went to first look over the edge of the falls. The Zambian person in the boat with us asked the driver, " What if the motor failed?" Then every one was like," Ya!"
"Well," he said,"we would all go over the falls."
And he said it true enough! The current would have pulled us right over the edge.
"But," he said," That would never happen!" Ya right! Any way, we made it safely. They have not civilized this place at all, except for making paths and making a small loo and putting up a couple tents, which we were to have our high tea in. And not only did we get high tea, but a tour of Livingstone Island. And because the falls are in full spray, the ground is really wet and muddy, so we had to go on our tour bare foot! HEEHEE! It was fun! So we sloshed through mud while the guide gave us a tour. The awesome part was, that there are these rocks extending to the very edge of the falls, so you could walk on the rocks and look over the edge! And two of the guys hold your arms and you can lean over the edge! REALLY COOL! And guess what! We had to wear these really this rain coats, because the falls was in full spray. And mom didn't go with out getting wet by the falls after all! Her rain coat didn't fit, so she got SOAKED! Even in the middle of the island, you could feel the water! And the guide had to shout it was so loud. I forgot to bring a coat, so I was freezing! So since our feet were so muddy, they actually washed our feet for us! With hot water, and they dried them! So I put back on my shoes, and I sat down in the tent. And as I said before, I was FREEZING! So for a while, I was using a napkin. But then the very kind guide brought be a towel, and I wrapped that around my shoulders. Then I was warm. For high tea we had little pies, scones, sandwiches, brownies, cream puffs. YUMMY!
