Trail to Geruntum Fall
Once the hoomans were done trying to kill themselves with body rafting...
... I put on my floating vest and we set off on a trail to the Geruntum Fall located a distance away upstream.
Having a drink before we start...
... our long and hazardous trek up the river.
Taking a breather along the way.
As we walked atop the rocks along the river...
... at one point, I slipped and fell right into the water.
Luckily I was not swept away by the swift water...
... and managed to climb up to safety on those slippery rocks... *cough! cough!*
Taking a moment to compose myself after gulping some water on the fall.
In between all the endless walking, we stopped to rest,...
... we drank from stagnant puddles,...
... and more rest stops for our weary legs.
Submerging myself in the river bank to cool off...
... before continuing the trail on flat land.
A distance away, we came to a metal bridge...
... that was once made of concrete but collapsed during a raging flood after heavy downpour.
This time, I have to be extra careful not to fall into the strong rapids below.
Slow and steady I crossed the bridge without much difficulty.
But I spoke too soon as we came to another part of the river and this time round, there was no bridge in sight.
Left with no other choice, I have to swim across the river.
Luckily, the current was not too strong at this part...
... and I managed to swim across safely.
Note from hooman: As a safety precaution, we always ensure that there is someone downstream whenever hero swims in a flowing river in case he's swept away by strong current.
I think we're not too far from the water fall...
... as I could hear the sound of water splashing from the distance.
Yes, we finally made it to Geruntum waterfall...
... where the hoomans tried to kill themselves again had some wet abseiling fun.

Hero!!
You looked so happy in your pictures! LOL How nice to see a smiling shar pei!
Your adventure was quite something wasn't it? How exciting!
Oh what fun! I got to visit some waterfalls this weekend too but didn't have to do all the walking and climbing you did to get there.
You are just such a manly dog, that fall into the water did not hurt you one bit. Beautiful waterfall!
You just crack my mom up for some reason. You look very handsome in your red vest.

Hero, I've read this post about three times. On the one paw, it's visually beautiful, thrilling and I'm filled with admiration for your daring and courage. Plus you look soooo good in that vest. Kind of like a SuperHero. On the other paw, you're all scaring the poop out of me. How about one of those nice trips to an outdoor cafe or something? Those were good, too.
