Don’t go chasing waterfalls…

Saturday morning started with torrential downpours and dark skies. I thought we might be stuck in for the day. Lucky for me though, around 9 am the sky cleared up and we were able to go and check out one of the islands many waterfalls. Eric thought it would be best to choose the least known about one.

Namo falls is kind of small and quaint. As you walk through the “woods” you can hear the rushing sound of water which leads you straight to the falls. There was no one else there but us which was wonderful. We were able to climb, swim and just hang out without having to dodge people, or being uncomfortable. Here are some of the shots I took:
On a side note, although I had a great time, there were a couple things that did not go well. One- As I said, it had rained the night before so the rocks were slippery. As I was falling the woman in charge of the falls said “it is slippery” Um, yeah I noticed. Two- Waterfalls are pretty powerful; Eric found that out the hard way when he put his hands under the falls and screwed up his wrist. And Three- Apparently the spiders here grow to monstrous sizes. You can all guess what happened when I saw not one but 3 spiders bigger than my head (OK, they were not bigger than my head, but they were freakin huge!!!!)

I love waterfalls, I always have. There are so many here on the island, I can’t wait to check them all out. Poor Eric is going to be stuck going with me…
