The walk to the falls look out took me an hour. I was really pleased with my health improving, so that I can do this walk.
The stream meanders around the rocks, and there are small cascades in the forest.
The forest is so green and cool, it is a hot day today.
The walk was magical, sharing the journey with Erik.
Several bridges crossed the river, and the track wound itself up the side of the Kaimai ranges.
