In the Tuk tuk on the way to tubing with our warm up beers. You might call it the calm before the storm (or the onslaught...the massacre)

When throwing yourself into water from a great height, it's best to ensure the water is not deeper than 4 feet.

Steyn, amazing stuff. I just discovered your blog this morning, sounds like you are both having an unforgettable experience. Kind of funny reading and seeing the pictures about your experiences in Peru,Machu Pichu,etc., I was reminded of a book you gave me years ago. "Fingerprints of the Gods", remember it at all? Anyways i just wanted to tell ya thanks for sharing the experiences and hope your travels remain safe.
