Casaroro Waterfall

  Yesterday we decided to take a leisurely stroll to the Casaroro waterfall. The day was perfect a few clouds, nice breeze, warm but we were going up in to the mountain area were the air is cooler. The resort sent two guides, lunch, juice, fruit and water for our journey. The 40 minute van ride took us threw Dumaguete, then up the mountainside as far as the van could go, we then had to walk-up hill an additional 3/4 mile to the park entrance. At the entrance there is a sign in book where you need to sign in with your name, age and address, we discovered afterwards that's so they know where to send your body, just kidding.
  There are 334 steps down to the waterfall, a beautiful scenic jungle area unfolds before our eyes. The sun glistening off the tropical plants as we continue our downward climb. Soon we could hear the growing roar of the falls ahead of us, which was a good thing, because our legs were turning into marshmallows. Who would think that climbing down stairs would take such a toll on our legs.
  As we came around the final turn the falls came into view, a sight that made the journey worth while. I took an hours worth of photos and video. Note for the best results bring a tripod it made all the difference in the world with photos, but made the video smooth, no shake. 
  As we ate lunch with the roar of the falls, the beauty of the lush jungle around us, we realized that we had 334 up hill stairs ahead of us. Let's jump ahead, because I can't write all the things we were saying or thinking as we counted everyone of those 334 steps. We are now at the top, proud of our accomplishment. 
  The trip was fantastic, well worth it, but it took it's toll, My legs are killing me today.
