We headed off to see Vanuatu's wonderful waterfalls. Amidst drizzle and slippery mud, we trekked up as far as we safely could . Because of so much rain the water was flowing very fast, crashing and gushing. A local bus took us to the entrance of the National Park, we paid the necessary vatu and headed onward and upward. Many handrails and ropes are provided but the track was slushy and the weather was not ideal. Nonetheless we continued, noticing that there were many intrepid types who climbed much further than we did and were swimming in the pools of water and diving from high precipices. A outdoor company even offers the chance of abseiling down the waterfalls - not for the fainthearted or the likes of me !!!!
