Petit Byahaut (July 15-17)

Dock at entrance to Falls of Balein (Jul 15, 2004, 02:10pm) This is the entrance to the Falls of Balein. There is a dock on the left with stairs leading in land. The boat dropped us off at the dock, and we started the short hike to the falls. The white splotches at the top of the picture are rain drops on the lens of the camera case. You can see those splotches on the next few pictures, left over from when it was raining.

Go ahead, jump in, the waters warm (Jul 15, 2004, 02:25pm) After a short walk (none of those pictures were worth saving), we reached the Falls of Balein. As you can see, with all the rain the falls are really flowing hard. There is a pool at the bottom of the falls and our guide invited us to go for a swim. As you can see in the next few pictures, a couple of us did jump in.
