Site seeing, part 1





The next day we hire our mini bus and head south of the island for Trafalgar Falls which is a couple of hours drive. We all arrive about mid day and a cruise ship has just arrived at the same time so the place was packed with Americans. The guides said that usually the place was so quiet and empty so i guess it was bad timing.

Anyway this place was amazing. We all climbed down a load of rocks, which was quite dangerous to be perfectly honest. There is no way we would of been allowed to do this back home because of Health and Safety. If you fell off you could so easily die. Sym fell down a slippery rock and twisted his knee quite badly. Im sure he is accident prone cos he tends to injure himself on a regular basis.

We arrive in the ice cold pool beneath a smaller waterfall and right next to it was another hot spring, which was so lush cos when you got to cold you could just jump into the hot one. All we needed was sparkling wine and someone feeding us grapes and it would of been paradise. Me and Sym could not help but laugh the whole time we were in there cos Jess felt that this amazing experience was being ruined because: there were a load of Americans pissed off their heads, drinking cans of Heiniken, smoking and flicking their fag buts in the water. NICE!!! We all could not believe it. Im not being one of those annoying ex smokers who preaches, but come on theres a certain time and a place. Check out the picture with the girl in the strippy bikini!!It was like something from Jerry Springer.

Next we climbed up to the main larger waterfall and swam in the pool underneath it which was great. It was so massive that being underneath was like being in a hurricane,the power of the water was immense, it was nuts.There was also 360 degree rainbows wherever you looked.This has been my highlight of the whole of the 7 months travelling so far. It was lush!!!!!!
