"The Smoke That Wants ..." a Victoria Falls Travel Page by RblWthACoz

I had been going non-stop for several weeks in Harare, so a few days in the Victoria Falls area was a welcomed break from the hectic schedule I had been following. Overall, my time there was very relaxing. The only thing I have to say is that the entire area is one big tourist trap. There are plenty of things to do, but anything you do and anywhere you go, there is someone who is ready, willing, and able to overcharge you or milk whatever money out of you they can. Not only that, but you have to pay for some things in foreign currency (dollars, pounds, euro, etc.) and can't pay in Zim dollars - which would make a trip there less expensive. Of course, even if you could pay in Zim Dollars, the only way it would be beneficial is if you could get it on the black market as opposed to the "official" rate, which is grossly less than what you can get on the street.
