Day 7: Sipi Falls

Today we hiked Sipi Falls. We left the house at 6:30 and began the drive. Arriving at 9:30 we began the hike. I was previously told it would be a 3-4 mile walk. Ha!

I was worried in the beginning as we began to gain in altitude very quickly. Add mud and slippery rocks to that equation and I wasn't doing so well. Never fear Moses swiftly brought aka made me a walking stick so assist my pathetic attempts.

On the way up the guide had a chameleon.
Waterfall number 1:

There was a cave full of spiders. Sick.
Waterfall 2:

Atop this waterfall were some villagers and a great view.
waterfall 3:

Also the picture from the top is number 3.
waterfall 4:

Today was a day of waterfalls. It also rained. Thus leaving us wet and covered in red thick clay.
We then went to a baby orphanage:

I found kittens!

That night we had a dinner party. The vegetable curry was on point. Then a group called ABC spoke to us and did bet boxing and hip hop. It is a group that helps street children. Street children are kids, mostly boys, who are kicked out of their house around age 12 because they are so GO become men however they don't have the resources. So these boys end up on the street and usually turn to drugs to take away the hunger pains etc. So this man started ABC to help them out. He teaches hip hop and break dancing etc. He also sponsors some to go to school.
