The wata level is high due the huge amounts of rain we have been getting every day, we are told. What?, no rain, we haven't seen any rain.
You will see, I am told again. 1st look at the wata level



the wata is also brown, not the normally clear wata we were expecting. I understand why, though. Look at it. 1st view of the falls.


you form human chains and walk across the falls. There is a deep hole below the higher level, where u jump into, which I did. Only one in my crowd to brave the high rushing wata today. you can see what I mean from these 2 pics.


above is the stairs to the different level of falls, and also to the zip line...
below is the amazing couple on the amazing holiday on an amazing island.

We head back to the entrance as the rain comes pouring down. We decide to grab lunch to let it slack off a likkle. Basic snack bar food, not much to brag about.
but it helped pass time.

flowers


we have over an hour of this downpour

a look at the bar


and I guess these are bananas,


the rain finally slacks up and we get on the road.
