Others took the opportunity to catch up on sleep as our planned visit to the HIV women's group has been rearranged for Friday. Two volunteers cycled to town to collect the custom-made trousers from the tailor. They had to navigate many closed roads as the town busily prepares for the coming weekend's UNWTO (United Nations World Tourist Organisation) general assembly. Excitement is building in the lead up to the celebrations.
We attempted to spend the afternoon with the children in Malota but upon arriving we were greeted with an empty schoolyard. With a quick adjustment to our plans we took a stroll around Maramba market, soaking in the various wonderful sights and smells, before purchasing some more African fabric.
As Livingstone's night sky is currently being blessed with a full moon we spent the evening at Victoria Falls admiring the wonder of the lunar rainbow. The moon's bright shine and the reflected white bow were truly incredible sights and not ones we will forget easily! Our cameras failed to capture the moment, however, quick thinking on a couple of the volunteers' part led to us inserting our memory card into a fellow viewer's £3000 slow-exposure camera (see below).
Jack Titley put his newly learnt acting skills into practice when he jumped from a tree as a 'baboon', terrifying the volunteers in the darkness.
On the route back to the Lodge our journey was halted by a stray elephant walking along the road towards town. No offence Wales but this beats the sheep hands down!
