The last day before we fly off on the 6th. And today is waterfall day. Supposedly.
We packed clothes to change in, preparing to dip in. When we arrived at the falls, it’s just pure amazement. I would have jumped in if I had suicidal thoughts. Dying in such beautiful scenery is worth every drop of life, ok maybe not. That’s too pessimistic, and would make the waterfall look uglier than it is.
The gushing of water beneath my very feet is an unspeakable feeling. It’s like, the world is anxious to sweep you off your feet with its ravenous hunger within the ever-flowing energies of the waters. And there I was, standing at the very top of the falls, looking downwards into the plunge pool. As I lift my head upwards to look at the horizon, mountain cliffs and hill tops clutter my view, parted by the very valley that the waterfall plunge into. Wow, how romantic can it get, except that the place is piled with tourists. Sianz.
Tracking downwards to the bottom isn’t that hard, except that I got myself stepped into a mud pool, then tried to wash the mud off in a small stream and realise my slippers do slip big time when wet. The result was barefoot tracking down the slope for ¾ of the journey down. Quite an adventure though, never tried tracking barefooted before. Kinda feels so close to nature. Nice comfortable feeling in the woods, till I came out into the open. OUCH! The ground is just burning hot. Can’t wait to jump into the pool =X
And I can only say, I’ve never regretted pool swimming. The freezing cold water, gushing by the gallons from the waterfall, accompanied by the burning sun when you splash out of the water. A statement to swear by, THIS IS LIFE! Partial sun tanning with some peanuts that Su Kuen bought. What else can you ask for? Picturesque scenery, cool waters, nice hot sun, and fragrant peanuts. Haiz, why did I discover this so late?
