Canoe trip with Mario and Bruno



Decided to go on an organised trip down a remote part of the river through a gorge with a small party of people. The road to the start point was very narrow and winding. We were in a deep valley and uninhabited forest with no sign of life. Very peaceful and beautiful. We started with a swim in the river to get used to the idea that we were going to get wet, Very wet. Down each of the falls you had a choice of going over with the boat, jumping off the top of the falls or walking down, being a coward I walked or boated leaving Sarah to do the jumping. The water was warm at the top of the river and very clear, you could drink it with safety. Furthur downstream the temperature by almost 10 degrees to 15c because of underground springs. It was a great day out and very exciting.
