Some World Heritage Sites are over-hyped and under-whelm. Others are everything you imagine them to be. Victoria Falls is firmly in the latter, even though it was nothing like what I expected. No doubt it had to do with water levels and weather conditions, but the mists were huge and the view of the whole falls was obstructed. Not sure why, but I expected to see the entire falls in all of their magnificent glory from some convenient viewing platform. I was mistaken. Instead, as you can see in this video, I "saw" something wildly different and got completely drenched in the process. Trust me when I say - if you go, and there is mist, and you see people walking back up the path completely drenched, it is not their bad luck, it is not something that you can avoid, and it is not something where your special powers of decision making can help you. Rent the poncho, rent the crocs, and get ready for a world of wet hurt. :) Worth every penny!
