Tropical Waterfall, Heart Soothing Green Nature

"We had always dwelled together, beneath a tropical sun, in the Valley of the Many Colored Grass."

- Edgar Allan Poe

This waterfall is located somewhere up north in Bali. It took us about 30 minutes driving through amazing rice paddies and beautiful authentic Balinese villages to reach this amazing spot. At the moment we stepped our foots at the entrance of this natural site, we were stunned, so impressed by the astounding green nature. There were plentiful of tropical plants from various species like ferns all over the ground, coconut trees, and bamboo. Air was so refreshing. I could feel my lung thanking me for inhaling that excellent quality of oxygen, air 'tasted so sweet'. Small piece of -tropical jungle- cake.

We took the stairs down which by the way presented us with an opportunity to exercise (especially on the way back) and get blood flowing and pumping, taking our time, step by step as we were overserving the surrounding and enjoying every bit of the amazing scenery. We reached an intersection, small sign written in Balinese, left is the waterfall, right is the river. Since our goal was the waterfall hence we took the turn right and continued our walk. Soon enough we started feeling the air getting cooler as the particles of water were dancing in the air.

We really had fun at the waterfall. There was only one group of visitors from Germany reached few minutes earlier before us, they snapped few pictures and left the spot right after. Then the waterfall was all for us. The water was not so deep but cold, I felt the coldness reaching into my bones. I didn’t go where it is deep, just enough for me to dip my toes under the water. Though, the sound of water falling collaborated with the sound of crickets and the jungle, falling on my ears, soothing my heart was the climax. Before we left, we did peek around the river area. Since it was pretty late during that time, darker clouds started to gather so we postponed the idea of jumping into it. Definitely we will come back and have some picnic-day, swimming too, since the river has some natural occurring swimming pools here and there. Sounds like a brilliant plan!
