Diary
I felt such excitement as we approached the
waterfall. When we finally arrived, the power of
the water was the huge surprise. Where in my
waterproof raincoat strong walking shoes I stood
on the slippery footpath. I watched with
amazement, felt the spray and took photos of a
beautiful rainbow. This was an adventure I will
never forget.
