Rafting & Boarding the Zambezi

12 10 2006

Wow, Yesterday body boarded and rafted the Zambezi. Was an awesome day. I thought we would be boarding the smaller rapids, however we were put thru grade 5’s on the boards. Totally awesome. The waves and holes are insanely big when looking at them from 6 inches off the water :)

We flipped on rapid 12b. Didnt manage to get back to the raft and got sucked under. A totally surreal experience. Couldnt tell which way was up so just had to chill out and wait for my vest to pop me up eventually.

Very peacefull, lots of pretty bubbles in brown water to look at.

Completed the day by doing a microlight flight over the falls. Seeing a croc launch into the water was super cool/spooky how fast it disappeared.

Tomorrow Im heading into Botswana towards the Okovango Delta.

Woooo! That sounds awesome.

Started snowing up in Tahoe this week. I’ve got my Kirkwood and Heavenly season passes and I’m starting to get a little excited… :)
