Day 358: Senaru

Mar 27 - Sometime in the early morning, long before the mosque starts up with Ramadan activity, there is an earthquake. For some reason I wake up before, and hear it rumble through. Probably no more than magnitude 3.

We considered various options for today, but all of the drive-around tours we lengthy and expensive. Since we like the waterfalls and they are in easy walking distance, we decide to go back there. I decided to write an article on the area for an online publication site, so I wanted to get more photos anyway.

Some small waterfalls coming down the side of the cliff to the Senaru River.

Iridescent colored jumping spider.

The aqueduct goes through a tunnel for about 100 meters. We walked through this tunnel yesterday on the way out of the park but of course we forgot to take photos.

Tiu Kelep Waterfall again, in different lighting than yesterday.

A quieter part of the river below the waterfall.

The leaf of a taro, also commonly called elephant ear. The coin on it is a 500 Rupiah, about the size of a US quarter.

Odette resting on a rock below the waterfall. She didn’t seem that concerned about the cold today.

A panorama shot of the vegetated cliff.

Another nameless waterfall, near the park entrance.

We get sufficiently wet from this excursion, so back to the room to try and dry stuff off for packing tomorrow. I am very busy getting some writing done, it is starting to take more hours of the day than before. Wi-fi here is terrible so researching is very slow.
