Coimata Falls Hike....

Got a lift into town from our HOTEL that is too expensisve for the poorest country in S. America, which means it is SUPER NICE, where we caught a micro bus out to where we walked along the road for 3 miles to a gate through which we passed into yet another road to hike about an hour to a fantabulous waterfall!  It required taking off boots and sox no less than 4 times to cross rivers.... some more challenging than others!  Flowers blooming in the most brilliant way... yellows, reds, oranges, purples, pinks.... ahhhhhh... birds singing happily and us finding our way through bushes, forest, over boulders up to this two tiered waterfall where Tom, who will do almost anything to get himself into the center of a photo, climbed onto a wet, windy from the waterfall boulder where I took his photo... you would see it here if I could figure out how to show you... Hiked back down, stopping to take a dip, of course, in a lovely swimming hole, crossing all of the same places and taking shoes and sox off and on again and again until we came to a French and Belgian restaurant of incomparable quality!  OMG!  Great food, greater wine and the greatest view from the deck where we fully enjoyed the last of the sunshine  before trekking back the way we had come in the morning.... retracing our steps and now back at this lovely Hotel in the country... ahhhh.... Are we dreaming..... Continue sleeping..... dream on....
