Description
Approaching the portico and front entrance of the lovely old Victoria Falls Hotel in Africa, the far door framed the silhouette of an African man reading something. I wonder what he stopped to read in the doorway? It could be work instructions, but I prefer to imagine it was a romantic letter from home.
The Victoria Falls Hotel in Zimbabwe was established in 1904. This gracious colonial style hotel is set in lush tropical gardens and offers a view of the mist from the falls. We were with a church travel group a few years back and had some free time so we thought we would hike to the falls unescorted, but there were elephants and poverty-stricken vendors on the trail, so a ranger walked us back to the hotel grounds.
