Fwd: FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: I don’t think so………… !!!!!!!!!



Categories : Africa, Cool, Internet, photos |

We get them all the time - those emails that are endlessly forwarded on around the net. Funny stories, cute pictures, sickly-sweet poems, ‘fascinating’ articles or amazing photos. Occasionally they are interesting, but mostly they are either mildly amusing or just annoying. But I never thought one of them would contain me!

Yesterday I got an email from my mum which her brother had forwarded to her (after being forwarded many times prior to that)

Subject : Fwd: FW: FW: I don’t think so………… !!!!!!!!!

Message Body : In Zimbabwe, Africa, you will find the magnificent Victoria Falls, at a
height of 128m.

The location is known as the “Devil’s Swimming Pool”. During the months of
September and December, people can swim as close as possible to the edge
of the falls without falling over.

These falls are becoming well known amongst the “radical tourist”
industry, when more and more people search for the ultimate experience.

Would you dare?    

Underneath that a series of photos of people on the edge of Victoria Falls in Devil’s Pool (which is actually on the Zambia side, not Zimbabwe), many peering over the edge. And the first of those photos … me and Owen! Looks like we’ve been emailed around the world - at least we’re famous for being daring “radical tourists” and not for something embarassing. Probably someone has stolen the photo from flickr, where there are plenty of other photos of people at Devil’s Pool. This one is my favourite of the ones we took there…

    Paul, I also got the same email, he got it from his brother in Seattle who sent it to him in Newcastle, Australia. My friend who forwarded it to me said “I don’t often forward emails but these photos are amazing” He was right, they are amazing.
