Victoria Falls Day 2

Our second day in Vic Falls was purposely restful.  Our hotel had amazingly beautiful grounds.  It is right on the Zambezi River. Every room has a view of the river and the hotel is so close to the edge of the falls that you can see the spray rising up from the falls as the water tumbles over.  The hotel is also located in a game reserve and we saw wild animals daily, including monkeys, which had free rein of the grounds and were quite "cheeky" as the locals said.  We spent our day laying out by the pool, watching the monkeys, and then taking a sunset boat cruise on the river.

the monkeys loved to jump on and run around the outdoor furniture
