This was our first waterfall hike. There are lots of hikes here that end in a waterfall and we thought we'd start with this one. It started in a very lush jungle part of the island and was just beautiful all through out the hike. We quickly discovered that the next time we go on a hike we need to bring a ton of mosquito repellent. We all got lots of bug bites up and down our legs. The kids loved how the trail would get muddier and muddier, and loved climbing up the rocks and tree roots that sprouted up everywhere. My favorite part was going through the bamboo forest.
Such fabulous fun.
I forgot to mention that there are wild chickens everywhere you go. Never have to worry about a shortage of food here I guess.
Of course, since we were so dirty from the hike and a bit bug sore we all agreed a dip in the ocean was the perfect cure.
What a great day. I just said to Peter, "I can't wait to go visit them!"
