Spani Falls

Spani Falls in one of the less frequently visited waterfalls on Dominica, but so far, it has been my favorite. First we hiked up a rocky path that seemed very much like a cement road that was laid over unprepared ground. Then we got into the rain forest where the plant life ranges from the miniscule to the extra-large. Eventually we came to a narrow trail which featured occassional wooden railing. The poles/logs that made up the railing were completely covered in moss and looked like they could be very deteriorated. Then we got to this cliff(?) that was covered in vines and it was like the entire thing was a waterfall. It was literally dripping from the top down and it was almost like rain! (I wish the picture would have turned out better.) Spani Waterfall has great height, and the water was colder than I would have cared to swim in. I loved the solitude of the natural beauty, and secluded feeling the area offered. I also loved seeing that raining wall. I've seen lots of waterfalls, but never an entire cliff side that just rains!
