The Devil's Swimming Pool
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.
Apparently, during the months of September and December, people can swim as close as possible to the edge of the falls without falling over.
ETA: Looks like fun, and it seems to be real. It might be a pool built on top of the falls, like an observation deck, but haven't found anything on that.

Posted: 8/4/08 at 2:37pmNo thanks! The only edging I'll do is in the comfort of my own bedroom.
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

Europeans are not uptight about wearing speedos.
The more I read, the more I want to go there.

It definitely is real, DD. I've wanted to go there for a long time, even though I'm deathly afraid of heights! Apparently it feels like you're about to be pushed over the falls, but the rock edge stops you.
(and too bad they can't toss Mugabe over the side in the meantime!)

Posted: 8/4/08 at 3:41pmI'm obsessed with it, Calvin. The trick would be to go to Zambia instead, and reach it from there. Definitely a MUST DO on my list.
