"Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live." - Dorothy Thompson
The Friday following National Day me and four other guys headed back to the beach I mentioned in an earlier post, Sai Wan. We headed to the beach under the pretense that we would be cliff jumping and hanging out by some waterfalls. We got to the beach and cut out eight kilometers from our previous journey by grabbing a cab to the start of the final two kilometers. We got to the beach and headed for what the very vague description told us was the start of trail to the waterfall. I'm not going to divulge exactly how we got to this cliff side paradise for the sake of my readers but after some navigating we found our destination and it was amazing. We came upon the scene and took what could have very well been ten minutes just taking it in, no one was really sure how long we stared for. Once we realized that the day would not wait for us we wasted no time getting the fun started. The pool of clear blue fresh water was surrounded by waterfalls and 25 foot cliffs that were primed for jumping. We climbed up to the cliffs and stared at the blue abyss below. There was nothing left to do but jump, after a few hesitant moments I took the metaphorical and literal plunge. What a rush.I have never jumped from such height and it was invigorating. Don't worry Mom, we tested the depth and no one even came close to touching the bottom of the pool all day. We spent a few hours around this new found paradise and decided to head for home. We hoped on a boat and took the trek home, tired and sore we all agreed today had been quite a victory.
Was that you jumping in the picture?
