Waterfall Wonderment

The south eastern region of Senegal is called Kedougou. It shares a border with the Guineas and is home to mountains and waterfalls unlike anywhere else in the country. Since I got to country, I had heard how phenomenal the falls were and I finally found the occasion to make the trip...




After five hours of biking in a downpour, I lost my grip and flew over the handle bars. I landed on my left knee.














I woke up the next morning to find I grew a rosy-red saddle bag from what we are assuming was a spider bite. It then spread and consumed my entire right thigh.










And we crossed the river first on a "bridge," and the second time we opted to go with the flow.

And you wonder what could possibly be worth all this hassle?
















Spending two days playing in the waterfalls at Ingley, that's what!
Matt, Roxy, Kay, Annicka, Jordan and I worked hard to get there and played hard too! I can't say I'll ever make the trip back, but I am so happy I went... worth every bump, bruise and bite:)
