Chill in Waterfall, 12 April 2008
We Chill-ed!
Nope... we have not gone to Chilling yet! Since it is the month of April, with April Fool's Day just passed few days back, well, that explains the photo. That was almost 2 years ago when Raleigh KL members made a formal trip there.
Trek 1 1/2 hour by the riverside with Adrian as guide to the Chilling Waterfall, where there will be opportunities to swim and bask on boulders. Swimmers may also jump into the pool from a rock beside the waterfall.
