Jungle Kayaks Waterfall Beach

So, yesterday was such a good day I fell asleep trying to write the blog! Now it's already Friday afternoon and we left our final port 2 hours ago :-( Shouldn't be sad, it's been fab, as you know! Right, back to the blog. 

First we had a bit of a paddle in a double kayak up a river, and we didn't even fall out about who was doing what, once! Although Steve very nearly did fall out, and it would have been my fault - got out too vigorously when we got to the getting out spot! Sorry Babe! 

On the journey there we passed the spot where they shoot lots of Hollywood movies, like Jurassic Park, and Indiana Jones' rope swing is still there from Raiders of the Lost Ark. 

Back on dry land we had a bit of a jungle hike, then a very short van ride and then another walk down to a private waterfall and swimming hole :-) And the weather was perfect for it. 

We also got the chance to climb it too. First we just went a little way up and sat, backs pummelled, under the powerful cascades, powerful enough to sweep aside bikini tops from unsuspecting boobs! Well, only one actually and I don't think many people noticed, although Steve was trying to attract my attention for a while, apparently! After sitting under it we also got the chance to climb half way up and walk behind it. Needless to say there are no photos of this bit, but I did get some of Steve sitting under it after I got out. 

Now you might think that being wet all morning we'd have had enough by the time we got back to the boat, but no, not us! Quick change and off out again to the local beach, via the local ice cream shop of course! Just beautiful.

 Beach and ice cream, but ice cream has to be earned, so this time the 5k run was through Nawilliwilli rather than round the boat. We did manage to find a main road, rather than a pretty one, but hey, we ran on a Hawaiian island so who cares! And that was Thursday, another day in paradise :-)
