Great trip, beautiful Falls!

We had our trip and made it home safe and sound. And we saw some beautiful sights! Nick does love to photograph waterfalls. I’m more leery and take the paths to get to them with a distrustful eye. This first picture I’m stealing from Nick, because I think he did a beautiful job. We hit it at the perfect time of morning!

Here was the next falls. Beautiful for sure! But one hundred and fifty steps – one way, did make it a trek! After we’d made it down all those steps and got ready to start back up I told Nick to go first since I knew I’d be slower. And he had the gall to trot up them!

The third one of the day was really impressive. Once you got to this one, you could walk behind the falls. But then, of course, you had to climb your way out, ninety-eight steps here.

By this time I was ready to head to our hotel. Here was our view from the window, 

And here is their lovely dining room with the same view.

But as we finished our dinner and got back to the room, this was the view.

But by the next morning we had this again – clothing optional, it’s not like anyone was looking in.

The next morning we came to the last falls Nick wanted to see. I’d been a good sport about the falls with the steps. My legs were tired, but I could make it if no one was rushing me. But this last one – WOW! I told Nick to go on, I’d come at my own pace. I made it around the first bend,  but one peek around that first curve and I turned around and headed for the car. Nick didn’t worry he said he knew when he saw what lay before him that I wouldn’t be joining him.

The path was steep and rocky, you needed to cross over some slippery rocks and someone had even put up climbing ropes to help people pull themselves along. Here are Nick’s pictures of this falls. I figured I’d enjoy them more if I was alive and he and I both feel I made the right decision.

It was a short, lovely, peaceful trip with some just a little more exercise thrown in than I would have thought necessary. Look up scenic water falls in your area. It might be worth investigating.
