After a long day of fishing yesterday we decided to sleep in this morning, at least until 07:30. We departed from Mlibizi around 10:00 and took a slow drive towards Vic Falls - our next destination. Our plan was to find someone along the way to play football with. We saw a small group of boys playing on the roadside just north of Crossroads and decided to stop. Within minutes we drew a crowd and bingo, we had ourselves a football game!!

We had players of all ages, including two very young and talented goalies! JI was on fire and scored five goals!!...which is five more than I scored...

As I've mentioned, we've brought a lot of footballs to give away on our journey. You can meet a lot of people through sports, and in Africa football is the way to go! We also gave the small boys a ball.

It really was one of the most enjoyable afternoons on the trip so far! I have to admit - these guys are much fitter than us, have better skills and played barefoot! Respect (we had to dodge a lot of thorns and rocks)!
We are in Vic Falls now and plan to go river rafting tomorrow, so the next post should be a good one! We also hope to speak to Martin Bester of Jacaranda 94.2 again, so keep your radios tuned into his show between 4 and 7pm! Let's hope it goes through.
Cheers
Villiers

Sjoe ja! Dit lyk regtig of julle 'n heerlike middag gehad het, wat gladnie nie gou deur julle 'eilande' vergeet sal word nie. JI, ek sien jy 'practice what you preach', goeie voorbeeld vir elkeen van ons. (Is taal nie 'n probleem nie?) Die baardjies kom mooi aan, of is dit my verbeelding..? Knyp maar oë toe en betaal om Vic Falls te sien, ek begeer nog my lewe lank om dit te kan sien. Neem asb BAIE foto's. Ek glo julle gaan vanaand lekker slaap na die oefening. Soete drome...
Baie baie cool! Geniet vic falls.... moet saam tannie stem.....ook een van my drome om te kan gaan! So spandeer maar... dis die moeite werd. Sal my radio ingestel hou! Hopelik is julle nie seer more van die sokker nie. Geniet die river rafting.....pasop ma vir die kamera's wil dit nie verloor nie! Lekker slaapies....T
Howdy!!
Well done op die sokker speel saam locals!! ek glo hulle het dit net so baie soos julle geniet!!
AWWWWWW Vic falls!! dit moet so mooi wees!! geniet die Rafting!!!
Sien uit vir daai post!!!
Vic falls is duur en als wat mens hier wil sien en doen kos geld. Probeer as julle 'n kans kry om by die Boma te gaan eet. Soos wat julle regs ingedraai het na Vic Falls Rest Camp, ry mens net reg aan met die pad en so 'n entjie verder, amper buite die dorp, sal julle die Boma vind. Hier kan jy op die tradisionele manier saam met die mense dans, eet en drink. Probeer die Mopanie wurms.....niks spectacular, maar jy kry 'n sertifikaat om amptelik te bevestig dat jy dit geeet het.
As ek julle is, sal ek nie individueel betaal vir die aktiwiteite nie. Daar is combo's beskikbaar (2 - 3 aktiwiteite) van jou keuse, wat baie goedkoper uitwerk. Die prys sluit dan 'n DVD van jou in. Gaan julle nie Bungi nie?
Nog iets.....gaan kyk die valle van Zim kant af en van Zambia se kant af. Daar is 'n groot verskil in hoe mens dit ervaar van die beide kante af. Moenie die reenjasse vergeet nie.....jy raak papsop water nat as jy nie een het nie! Geniet dit!!!
More Ji en Villiers
Die trip lyk great, ek probeer elke dag loer wat julle gedoen het - baie sterkte en geniet dit!! Gedra die Toyota hom goed? Klink nie of brandstof 'n probleem is nie? Afrika is nie so sleg nie!
Groete, Pieter Jacobs, Nelspruit
Awesome awesome awesome!
Die sokker balle was n GREAT idee, julle is 2 mans so uit die boek Wild at Heart! Ek stem saam dat n spring foto in die hak sal wees saam al julle ander cool fotos! Geniet elke oomblik by die Valle!
