I know I'm closed in but I hate getting by the windows! So being scared of heights, it was with a bit of trepidation that I boarded a microlight for a flight over Victoria Falls last week. But I have to say it was awesome, and I highly recommend it. The view might have beat that from atop the world's tallest building.

I try not to let it stop me so I understand the courage it takes to step to the edge. Good for you! Very cool. :)

It has I think the highest viewing platform in the world at some 474m!!! When we were there we watched nervously whilst some workers remove cappings on the edge of the building - Without harnesses!! They were only 420m up in the air! Have a look here: http://www.swfc-observatory.com/en/ Rob Matt,
