A few years back, we took a trip that essentially cut off the bottom of Africa, we traveled from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to the Indian Ocean, stopping in Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Mozambique. The stop in ZimZam (as it’s known) was really just a single night stop at Victoria Falls and the Victoria Falls Hotel. I’ve talked about this in the past on prior blogs, and it isone of the most picturesque colonial hotels in Africa. We really just that one night at the hotel and this is a stopover on our way to Mozambique. How are the hotel was built over 100 years ago and has some really lovely features that capture the memory of the era in which it was built. This block was at the base of the flag that sat at the end of the hotel steps overlooking Victoria Falls itself, and as you can see, the block indicates the distance between Cape Town, where you are now in Victoria Falls, and all the way up to Cairo which is route the original train went. It really does have me dreaming of going from the south end of Africa all the way up to the north end covering that nearly 7000 miles from tip to tip. Maybe one day I’ll build make make a trip.
