Laura Dawn - French Polynesia Log 3: The waterfall



We've had a very long day. We go up early, and left the boat at 8.30, and headed ashore with stephen, elezabet and cameron from sumore. We then trekked for about 2 hours up the valley along and ancient trail, to and enormous waterfall, the 5th biggest in the world. To get there we had to wade across the river a few times, which was good as it cooled us down alot. When we finally made it to the waterfall There was a small pool, with Some large boulders at the back. Once we swam across the pool and went under/around/over the boulders we found a larger pool, into which the water fell. There has been a lot of rain recently so there was a lot of water fall, 4 times as much as cameron had ever seen there. This didnt stop us and we still managed to swim nearly under it, in the cool water.
Once back from the waterfall, we went for a late lunch with some locals, which consisted of wild boar for the main, and home made mango sorbet for dessert, which they make using power from their solar panels.
We are on our way to the tuamotos now, left 5 hours ago at 6pm, and should get there on the 6th, whichever day that is.
The agenda for tomorrow . . . Fishing!
