After underwater adventures, we went on land expeditions... Taking Bus #5, we drove to the interior of the island, passing Grand Etang national park and reached the starting point of an hour long walk through the rainforest before reaching the Seven Sisters Falls (altitude 1990 feet). The driving was fun and the hiking was even more fun: we fulfilles our children's dream of playing in the mud!!! We were dirty.........good that we had sticks to help us stay upright because it could have been a very very dirty hike.
Apres une couple de jours a jouer dans l'eau, nous avons pris le bus vers les Seven Sisters Falls, a l'interieur du pays. C'etait fascinant de grimper dans les montagnes en bus - surtout avec leur style de conduite! - mais ce fut encore plus amusant de monter les sentiers tres boueux avant d'arriver aux chutes! Quand Carole et moi avons vu les chutes # 1 et 2, on a tout de suite eu envie d'y nager! Daniel et Heiner ont ete plus aventureux et ont gravi un sentier de bouette pour voir les 6 et 7....

Carole and Marleyne were looking forward to swimm in the first fresh water pool of the first falls...while Daniel and Heiner were more adventurous and decided to hike even further to the last falls...
