Day 8

According to the programme today is ment to be a ay off with an optional activity. The activity in question is a nice walk in the Topes de Collantes with swin into the river/waterfalls. As we are still staying in the beautiful guest house in Trinidad I thought that someone would have been put off by the walk, but I was wrong 100 percent attendance! As usual the weather was brilliant only some useful cloud to provide a bit of shade. The walk starts just 15min by bus from outside town centre. Once crossed the characteristic bridge we enjoyed a nice walk that was sort of challenging for the first bit an then it went on following a flat path. The final reward for the 45min walk was a wonderful place, a natural waterfall. Just underneath the waterfall the river was wider and deeper, this allows to dive and swim into the cried crystal clear water. After the long walk a cold bath was the best thing. Few of us decided to jump, in a style that would not make the olympic games. There was also the waterfall that provided a free Jacuzzi and a little further a cave with some bats.

On our way back we stop by a typical farmers house, the place was very much from the past but incredibly well kept - simple but welcoming.
