There were some fun times in Manilla

There was the park across the street

Yes there were dinosaurs...

Of many many different colours

We booked a trip to visit waterfalls a couple of hours outside of Manilla and that was a great day.   I took nearly two hours in a canoe with two very experienced boat men to get us up to the Waterfalls… then we got to actually go through the waterfall, an experience not to be missed.   The force of the water took your breath away plus it was bloody cold.  They popped us on a raft and two guys pulled us through via ropes .. what a job!  Saying that the two boat men had a hard job too,  as they had to guide the canoes through countless rapids and even had to carry the boats at one point.  It was worth it though, fantastic scenery which left me wishing we could have discovered more of the country.

helmets and life jackets how attractive...

they had to push the boat uphill with their feet on the rocks. The boatmen worked 10 day shifts then got to see their families for a couple of days it was a hard life

The pre-cursor to the real thing

from afar it doesn't look that impressive but trust me up close it was a monster... the raft is on the right
