Adventures in Africa - Part 3 ~ Wli Falls

While in Ho we took a little hike to Wli Falls. This is the largest waterfall in West Africa and the second largest in all of Africa. It's a short hike through beautiful forest and then you turn the corner and bam! There it is.










Isn't it amazing? This was my first waterfall experience and it was out of this world. The water was cold, but we were hot, so it was simply wonderful.










When the water hits you it is so powerful that it stings. It feels like standing under a power washer. Sometimes it is so powerful that it felt like it was going to push me under the water.



Oh ya, on our way back to the bus was when I had the centipede experience.

Until I saw these:
Instead I bought this:
But it sort of works the same because I got one and so did someone in Africa. ;)



In other news - Skyler gets home in 29 days. That is LESS than ONE MONTH people!!! Are you getting excited?! I can't focus at all any time I think about it, and thus I blog...



oh and don't worry, there are a lot more Africa posts on their way. I'm still collecting pictures though, so they will be coming soon.



Did I mention Skyler is practically home?
