Words are not able to describe the force and power of these falls and the slot canyons remind me of those in Arizona….this area was a testimony to the beauty and power of Mother Nature!!!

We arrived back at the campsite at 6p, and time for a cuppa and a bit of a sun bathe before Malc and I gave Janet the night off…I BBQ some chicken and Malc fixed the spuds and veggies!!!

Malc and I then went to watch the England V Sweden soccer game at the TV in the camp office and the scrabble game did not start till after 11pm with the usual results….
