Mount Nyangani and Nyangombe Falls!!

So today was a day that we all had to push ourselves physically and mentally.  We were set to hike Mount Nyangani which is Zimbabwe's tallest peak (a little over 8000 feet high), so many of us are either scared of heights, had never hiked before, or were just nervous about how much energy it would take to reach the top, BUT EVERYONE TRIED!!! Seven of our Twelve Ladies made it to the highest peak and most of the rest of us made it to the second highest peak where a waterfall was.  The hike was  difficult as the trail was narrow and very steep the entire way, there was little room for error, and of course NONE of us actually have hiking equipment.  The hike took a few hours and in the same national park we saw baboons, wildebeest, and even a few lizards and a snake.  We left there and headed to lunch where some of the girls found some more baboons and a trampoline.  I am not sure how they had the energy to jump when they had just completed the hike, but they did.  Ellen and I were finally able to try the traditional dish Sandza as this place made a vegetarian version for us. IT WAS AMAZING!  Then after lunch we headed for another difficult hike to Nyangombe Falls where we saw the falls and saw the sunset. They love being here and I love hearing them say how amazed they all are that they are actually here! Tomorrow is a long drive (5-6 hours) to the ruins of Great Zimbabwe and another hotel change as we work our way towards Victoria Falls and a new country Zambia.  The blog is still not accepting pictures but I will keep trying and if I get more reliable internet I will update the posts!
