We took a nice walk to the waterfall (wear grippy shoes because it was slippery when we went). Afterwards, we went to paradise cave which was gorgeous. Then we headed towards lunch which was tasty & separated into the groups who were doing different caves. The dark cave was truly so magical, we got to swim inside and then swam/walked to the mud part. So much fun. Afterwards, we went back to the lunch area and swam/ played on the different activities there.…”
