A Weekend Adventure- Part 4

Sunday morning, I armed myself with ted hose for my swelling feet and a decent breakfast and prepared for another hike to some waterfalls. Here the boys show off their coffee!! (mostly hot milk) for breakfast in the common area of our hotel.
Well, once again, the hike was very long and hot, requiring water and shade breaks for this pregnant, swelling mama.  It took us 45 minutes of walking uphill, but we finally made it.  We thought we were going on a walk to check out some waterfalls, then we would turn around and head back into town for lunch.  We were misinformed.  The waterfall place was much better than that and required more than 20-30 minutes of our time.  It also required swimming suits, which we didn’t realize.  But we improvised and had a great time.
The waterfall had a great natural slide:

After a couple hours of enjoying the water, we started the dreaded hike back down the hill.  Lo and behold, a few minutes into it a very kind couple that we had seen at the waterfall pulled up in their car and offered us a ride.  We were so thankful for their kindness!  They were weekend tourists from the city and knew English.  They dropped us off at our hotel.  Amazing how kindness lifts your spirits as well as a good meal!
