Day # 175 Seven Sisters Falls

Wednesday 7/17/13

Well early this morning  at about 3am the power went out and the fan went off. I woke up because I was supper hot, thank goodness it turned back on in an hour. I went back to bed before I re woke up to get ready to go and meet Bridget one of the other Peace Corps Volunteers in Gran Etang to go hiking. I think the bus ride was what took the longest, we had to wait at the bus terminal until the bus filed up with people that took us 30min and then the bus ride to get to the trail was another 30 min. Finally we made it to the trail got are walking sticks. we headed down the trail, i would say that it was not to difficult, I would suggest sneakers or hikers sandals for the grip on the rocks but be ready to get a little muddy and maybe rained on, pulse you can swim at the water falls. It took us about 30min to walk down the trail and up to the main two water falls, their is seven but most of them are really small and the hike is at a ninety degree angel from what the tour guide said. The two water falls that we stopped at are the biggest and most beautiful of the sisters. So we had lunch and swam in the water. Some locals showed up and started diving off of the water fall, that was fun to watch, and then some tourists came so we talked to them for a while. It was a good day. We left around 3pm, when I got home I mad a fast dinner watched a movie and went to bed.
