This was not a “foodie” trip but we didn’t miss any meals or drink opportunities either, so I’ll give you a posting with some Victoria Falls food and drinks.

I’ll tell you what Cory is thinking right here: “Shoot, when Dad asked me to go on this trip, I completely forgot about all the crazy food he eats – and now here I am looking at two big hunks of Warthog! Next time I need to think the whole trip with the folks through a little more…” I would add that the warthog was excellent. It was sweet and tender and more like beef than anything. Cory thought it was a tinge gamey, but she ate all of hers too.

On this afternoon, Vicky and Cory decided that we needed to hurry to finish shopping so that we could walk over to the Victoria Falls Hotel and have “High Tea” at 4:00pm. I went along with them but when we got there, we made a “game time” decision and opted for “High Cocktails” instead. We sat out on the veranda, soaked up the British tradition, and enjoyed the afternoon. The drinks were excellent and we didn’t buy those drinks to match our shirts either – that was a coincidence…

The morning that we rode the elephants, we had breakfast at the game reserve. The chef cooked everything right out in the open and we took our plates over to the grill to load them up. They also had juice and coffee and some other food items, but we mostly went for the sausage, eggs, and toast right off the grill.

On our last night in Victoria Falls, we went on a dinner cruise on the Zambezi River. I was drinking a gin and tonic. I watched the bartender pour it and he gave me three overpour shots of gin. If you look at my face, you can tell the drink was a bit stiff…

We were just getting ready to sit down to dinner on our river cruise. The temperature was great, the food and drinks were great, the animal entertainment was great, and how about that sunset?
