Hello everyone! It's Megan Evans here and I'm here to fill you in on what we did today. But first I have to say what an amazing trip we have had so far! From the gorgeous sunsets, seeing lots and lots of giraffes and extremely sugary Fanta's, Zambia is truly incredible!

So, this morning we had a cracking lie in with breakfast at 8, which consisted of toast, basked beans, scrambled egg and sausages. Then watched some Olympic in the bar before hopping on the mini bus to Victoria Falls! Before we had even got off the mini buses, we saw a group of baboons - you wouldn't get that in Esher! Then we started our trek into the Zambian jungle down to the falls. It was picturesque scenery the whole way down and when we got to the rocks at the bottom we could see the waterfall in all it's glory. One of the seven natural wonders of the world before our very own eyes.

We watched some very brave bungee jumpers and took lots of pics. Then made our way back up and did a loop around the top to take it all in. At one point on the walk we went across a small bridge and you could feel the spray of the waterfall on your face.

Then we came back to Fawlty Towers and had our lunch, which we got from the shops opposite us. I do have to say how amazingly cheep everything  here is too. I had a cheese and chips baguette, apple and mini pot of ice cream which was delicious. Then after lunch we got to chill out at the hotel until dinner. Some people went in the pool, but I made bracelets and watched some of the Olympics.

For dinner we went out to a restaurant called 'Zest', which was very nice - I had a burger and chips. There was a cat that looked like Missie who was very friendly, but then had to get escorted out.

Overall, today was a great day and I am so grateful for today and every single other one we have spent here. I have truly had an amazing time and I wanted to say a big thank you to all of my family and friends who have helped me to be here and I can't wait to tell you all about it.

To Stressi, Rob and Bav Bov - thank you for everything, I love you so much and can't wait to see you in a few days (yes even you Harry) and tell you everything xx

Good evening everyone. This trip has been the most amazing experience of my life. From coaching the nicest kids to seeing the most amazing nigh sky in the world. Today we went to Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world. We went down to the bottom, as far as we could go and watched hundreds of gallons of water pour into the valley. We walked back up to the top and walked across a bridge near the falls. I could feel the cool spray landing on my face as I saw and heard the water gushing off the cliffs. As we walked back, we were almost surrounded by baboons - they are so much bigger and scarier than I thought they would be.

After we came back we bought some picky bits for lunch from the shops, oreos, lays crisps and dairy milk. After lunch we had some crepes with lemon and sugar and then I got in the pool. It is absolutely freezing cold but it was quite refreshing during the warm weather. Later lots of us made bracelets together, however I have run out of A's!

We went out to dinner to a really nice place called Zest. I had my 5th margarita pizza of the trip and it was really good. A cat came up to me and jumped onto the bench we sitting on so I moved it off. A lady who worked there came up to us and escorted the cat out of the restaurant by security!

Love you so much and miss you all so so much. I am going to miss Zambia when we leave, but I am so excited to share all my stories with you over a Mcflurry.

Lots of love from Siolfor-Rose xxx
