16 February, 07
We were ready for our hike nice and early and we grabbed a yogurt at the stall before we left. We met the others (8 of them) and we all got on the bus to take us to the start of the hike. The bus broke down and so we had to take another bus! We finally started the hike and it was a fairly easy walk but it was very enjoyable and interesting. We stopped a lot along the way, as they say we smelt the flowers; and we even saw a little snake. We walked to a sugar plantation and watched how it was made and it was wonderful. We then had a swim by the waterfall and the water was really cold and fresh. Rich twisted his ankle and we didn’t know how serious it was but he managed to walk down the rest of the way. We all had a drink at the end of the hike, iced Rich’s ankle and everyone got on so well. We showered and met up with the two English fellows (Will and Zack), the German girls (Heika and Julia) and the French couple (Isabelle and Julian). We sat in the posada and had some light dinner in the kitchen. We then all went to the bars and joined all the people from the Carnival and celebrated until the early hours of the morning with our friends. It was a wonderful day all round.
