Hi Dave and Deb,
what a start on a Monday morning… reading your compliment. Now I don’t even need my good morning coffee anymore.
I will make a picture, when I get into the Devil’s Pool, but not a video, so people don’t see my shaking legs.

Excellent interview! My sister lives near Cologne, I will have to visit her sometime in the winter to check out Carneval. We stood at the top of Victoria Falls and I can’t believe that people actually swim in devils pool. That is even a little too crazy for us! But I can’t wait to read about it when you do it:) I love thetraveldudes, thanks for giving us some more insight into the person (aka Melvin) behind a terrific website!

Andy, that is a good story! I thought about it a few times, how it is when you are up there & the bells starts. But I have never experienced it. So I guess, each time you hear church bells, you get a headache?

I have a good story about the Koln cathedral – I’ve been more than once but my first trip, I of course went up the cathedral. On a Sunday morning. Halfway up, the bells started ringing. It was like being inside a dryer – the stairs and everything were vibrating. It wasn’t very loud in the stairwell, it just was vibrating so hard it kind of made me sick Of course when I reached the top, the noise was deafening and could feel the sound waves vibrating my clothes (and my head). Thankfully it stopped shortly after I arrived at the top, but my headache stayed for a good hour!

@Joanna, nice to hear that you like it. When you come to Köln, let me know & we’ll meet up, have a beer together & I’ll let you climb to the top of the cathedral.
