Waterfall

During our few days on the island of Tahiti, Charlie and I took a 4x4 trip into the heart of the island. We passed lush jungle growing on the steep volcanic mountains and numerous waterfalls flowing into a cool river pool in which we swam. Just lovely.

Literally, on the ride home from this outing, I started to have a sore throat that, within 24 hours had progressed into a vicious cold that completely blocked up my nose and ears. We were flying out that day, and it was my worst fear that I would burst an ear drum in the ascent or descent. I've done that before, years ago, and it is not nice. Bring on the Sudafed!
