Ah, that's right Daniele. Now I remember Kate telling me that is what it is! Thanks. Sitting here in the hotel in the shade watching the spray from Victoria Falls rising high into the air. Now is the time of the greatest flow of water after the rains. Needed a raincoat to get close and quite a bit of strategy to get photos! Managed a couple!
