Title: The Devil's Swimming Pool
Post by: JohnnyCastaway on September 01, 2008, 10:57:34 AM
This looks like quite the adventure.....

In Zimbabwe, Africa, you will find the magnificent Victoria Falls at a height of 128m. The location is known as "The Devil's Swimming Pool".


During the months of September and December, people can swim as close as possible to the edge of the falls without falling over!
 
These falls are becoming well known amongst the "radical tourist" industry as more and more people search for the ultimate experience.
 
Would you dare?

 :grin: I usually pass travel info like this on to my son but NOT this one!!  I also definitely wouldn't take young children to this spot!  I would like to see the Victoria Falls though......from an observation deck!
