Did the gnarliest hike a few days ago. Comando hike - the true test of a hippy vagrant. Starts of hiking up through a stream, through a load of baobab trees making a true jungle gym until we hit a waterfall, only way up is to brace yourself between two super slippy walls and climb 20+ft to a ledge, real sketchy - you'd bugger yourself good and proper if you fell. one of the austrian couch surfer girls got the shakes half way up, was sure she would fall. all good though and we entered a cave [at which point we realised lights would have been a super idea. a few more tricky waterfalls to climb and got to a big circular domed room which we swam across to climb another sketchy waterfall [this time in the dark]. eventually got out the cave and a quick walk up a hill got us to a set of 3 jumps - 25ft, 50ft and 30ft [with rock danger bonus]. i had no interest what so ever in the 50ft one, probably doesn't need mentioning but it was fucking massive! but after the shaky austrian did it i had little choice [if i was to maintain my heroic image], after shooting fuuuuuck and plummeting i hit the water reeaal hard and the force of the water ripped my top lip up and gave me some rather excellent pink arms. quick jog back and mission accomplished. sort of. comando must be done comando. yet the austrians didn't seem that eager to take their clothes off.
in other news,
sort of intentionally missed my flight to big island yesterday and am staying another week on Maui.
did a cool trip to Haleakala crater [biggest dormant in the world] fucking amazing sight - saw the sun set and rise way above the clouds over a lunar landscape. then hitched to Hana and climbed a coconut tree.
worked yesterday for $135 and again tomorrow. bonus. true immigrant work force. run by a Czech with 2 Chileans, a Brazilian, a Hungarian, a welsh boy [only one whose legal] and a wonderful English gentleman.
Helloha!
