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.
