The Devil's Swimming Pool
« on: September 01, 2008, 10:57:34 AM »
This looks like quite the adventure.....
Quote
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?









Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
