    do you need that extra thrill?

    ... Devil's Pool at Victoria Falls can provide it... Not sure it is for everyone.

    That is incredible! It's so hard to believe there's such a tranquil swimming spot before the huge drop. Will have to put it on the list

      "Our guide Omega" :lol: Like he's the last thing you're ever going to see! :lol:

      I wonder if this was where they got the idea for the inifinity pool?

      And . . . I wonder who thought to try this for the first time?

        That's the first thought I had when I saw this clip.

          I did some quick research on wikipedia:
          "A famous feature is a naturally formed pool known as the Devil's Pool, near the edge of the falls, accessed via Livingstone Island in Zambia. When the river flow is at a certain level, usually during the months of September to December, a rock barrier forms a pool with little current and some people swim in the pool."

          But the last sentence frightens me:

          "Occasional deaths have been reported when people slip over the edge of the rock barrier."

            ... another thrill: to go supersonic as a skydiver! See Felix Baumgartner's preparation... and keep your eyes open for his October 8 jump!

              Someday, someone is going to reenter from orbit this way.

                ... yes. Looks much cheaper than a space shuttle, doesn't it? :lol: I wonder how we can cheaply fire individuals into orbit ... ... I urgently need it for some unpleasant coworkers :lol: ...

                  ... if you hate space and all these distant views... get it much closer! See below. My God! I should have done that when I was young! Nice roads in the video, by the way. We should find out where exactly they are... I believe it is Tianmen Mountain in central China. (see here)
