The path took me right across this small waterfall. You had to be careful where to step; the water is so clear that 10cm of water looks the same as 30cm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55f1be82e4b0f911dbfc3dff/1443116696062-UOXVBM5QKAWEVJSXVOL3/image-asset.jpeg The Blog - Day 4: sunrise and a familiar-ish view.
