Another longish hike today and this time it’s far more our type of thing. Starting with a tough climb up a seemingly never ending hill we stop for breath and chocolate rations, before dropping into a deep gorge to follow the river bed a couple of miles back to where we started.
The scenery is jaw droppingly gorgeous. Huge boulders carved into improbable forms by the fast flowing waters of the rainy season are bordered by lush foliage on both banks with exotic birdlife calling down from the valley walls.
It’s a little piece of paradise. And the best bit of all, is that we have it entirely to ourselves. We don’t meet another soul until we reach the plunge pool at the end of the walk – a German couple, who are treated to the sight of three funny shaped Brit’s stripping to their undies and diving straight in.
