Wow....that took me back....Mermaids Pool was THE place to go when I was in my final years at school. The fufi slide was quite the ride....called a zip wire here in the States. Now I was there when it was still Rhodesia....lol. Maybe 55 years ago. Still a blast seeing it.

I was about 5 when I last went to Mermaids Pool. I remember that rock slide as if it was yesterday, (not forgetting the fufi slide too) because I wasn't allowed to slide down it...lol I always wondered why coz it looked fun. Roger, thanx for the footage. Locked away memories are flooding in...Fok the politics, lets rebuild our home :)
