It was a lazy Sunday afternoon. A bunch of us had been out for Ken's birthday till the wee hours of the morning. Some of the party-goers probably watched the sunrise before going to bed. Not Ken. And definitely not me. I hate wasting a day due to hangovers. Plus Sunday was supposed to be my moving day. Meaghan, Paul and I were sitting in the 'Orange Restaurant' having a typical $5 lunch, and talking about what time they'd help me move. I said f-it. It's sunny and warm, lets go explore. And away we went.
Our journey this gorgeous weekend found as exploring Donnaeko Falls. It's a little system of 2-3 decent sized falls, and a few really tiny ones; all with crystal blue water. Water you can see down 30 feet in. When we arrived at Donnaeko (15 minutes from home) there was nary a soul there. We had the whole place to ourselves. Since the temperature was relatively nice, and the water looked great (and there was no surf anywhere...), Paul and I decided to jump in. The cliff height was somewhere in the 15-20 foot range, depending on your pride. And the water was probably below 60, based on the shrinkage of my testicles.
Jumping in was a litle nerve-wracking, but well worth it. And the water was in fact cold, but we warmed up in the sun and by climing on rocks. I eventually climbed my way North on the riverbed and found another pool, although not as deep, and a non-running fall. Even farther North was a dried up waterfall with a nice little cave behind it.
The entire area was awe-inspiring and overall relaxing beyond belief. Aparently we have until June to enjoy it, because that's when Korean's start to swim. Well, I'll definitely be there a few more times before then.
