School Stinks... I Live for the Weekends: Hogsback/Chintsa

I am doing research for a paper... I hate writing papers and it is no fun. It is impossible to motivate myself to do school work here, so here is a little bit about my last weekend adventure...

No one seemed up for doing much so Luke and I took a trip to Hogsback. We hiked through the waterfall circuit and saw some amazingly huge and gorgeous falls. The forest was really cool and we saw some monkeys. Once we got out of the forest we climbed up the Hogs. We ran into some thorn bushes and I cannot even count how many scratches I have on my legs. We also had to shoo some cows out of our way. We made it to the top, saw the view, then headed back to the car, stopping at Flat Rock (cool waterfall cliff) on the way. We left for our adventure at 9am and made it to our cottage 17:30. Though pleasant it was long and hard and I was a bloody, beat-up, sweaty mess by the time we were done.

We spent the next two days doing a lot of nothing. Saw one more waterfall then headed to Chintsa where we laid on the beach and went canoeing. I haven't hated the scenery yet!
