Location#6

The next and last location that I am visiting is Victoria Falls. It is located Zimbabwe in Southern Africa. The capital of this country is Harare. Now the countries that border this country are South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, and Mozambique. Also the water that border this country is between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers. The G.P.S coordinates are 17˚S,25˚E. Also the climate is interesting. It has a rainy season from November to April then dry for the rest of the year. The falls have a sheet of basalt, a shallow valley, and distance sand stone hills. The history is that it was discovered by David Livingstone who gave it the name in honor of queen Victoria. This location is important because of it's mineral rights, also it's natural resources of timber, ivory, and animal skins. I hitched a ride on a boat. Fun but, a pain in the butt with all the money spending on trips. I learned that there are more waterfalls then people can dream of. My family ran out the door almost knock me over tears of joy that I was finally home. They were so proud of me.

Wow those people know how to have fun. The name of my next location is Kota Tinggi Falls. kota Tinggi Falls is in a cool country called Malaysia. The next thing I thought was cool and wierd at the same time is the capital name! The capital of this country is Kuala Lumbuan. The countries that border this country are Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, and Brunei. The bodies of water that surrounds the country are called the south china sea. The climate of this country is that it is a tropical place. The coordinates are 49.8˚N, 49.9˚E. It look like a water park in a way cause of the natural water slide. The history of this country is that it is named after the small iron ore mine which operates there. The reason why this waterfall is important because it is a big tourist place because of the natural water slide and the many levels of pools that accomodate hundreds of people. I hitch a ride on a boat this time around.

Wow what a ride it has been a fun and wonderful time. My first location that I am visiting is Igazu waterfalls in Argentina which is located in south America. It's capital is Buenos Aires. Countries bordering it are Paraguay, Bolivia, Brazil, Uruguay, and Chile. the only body of water surrounding it is the Atlantic ocean. Temperatures have ranged from 120 degrees F to -38 degrees F. As a rule the climate is hot in summer and cool in the winter. It's coordinates are are 25 degrees S, 54 degrees W. It looks beautiful, a big hole with water running over the cliff. It is believed that a god sliced the river creating the waterfall. In truth it was created by a volcano eruption. The falls are part of a virgin jungle ecosystem protected by Argentina and Brazillian nation parks. I flew to Argentina it cost $1957.00. It is 5,311.88 miles between locations. I had no problems. The biggest difference was the people, they were friendlier in Argentina.
