April 5 - Waterfall Hike

On Sunday the group went on a hike along the coast towards the freshwater waterfall at TNP. The hike took about 2 hours because we stopped along the way to take a bunch of pics and explore around the caves/rocks/etc. Jeff, Jessica, Anna, and I all climbed up the rock face to get to a cliff to jump off of into the water. The cliff was about 30 feet above the water. The jump was a lot of fun and I would love to do it many more times! After we swam in the water Jeff and I went on a hike up the Otter Trail for about another hour and saw some snakes and other freaky animals. There were tons of evidence of Baboons in the area, but luckily we did not run in to any. Something very interesting happened on our hike back to our cabins. When I was hanging out by the pool I heard a faint thunder sound and then all of a sudden a lightening bolt was within screaming distance of me. It sort of freaked me out, but it makes for a fun story. On a side note from my fun trip, on this night I was taught how to make the bridge when you shuffle cards!!!! I was so happy to learn how to do this.
