ZIMBABWE - Victoria Falls

Location - Southern Africa; Capital - Harare; Population - 14 million; Currency - Many foreign currencies

I spent a day on the Zimbabwe side of Victoria Falls, crossing over from Zambia in April 2006.

The Zimbabwe Dollar - this was the biggest note in 2006 but worth very little.
A period of hyperinflation has meant that since 2009 prices have been set in US$ or South African Rand; the Zimbabwe Dollar is no longer in use.

Victoria Falls are 108 metres high and 1.7kms wide

Victoria Falls are known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or The Smoke That Thunders

David Livingstone was the first European to see Victoria Falls. He named them after the Queen of England, Queen Victoria
