Sabie Backpackers, White water Tubing waterfalls

Text written in: English

On jan 1st we decided to leave Nelspruit for a couple of days to see Sabie a place at least three people in Nelspruit including the backpackers manager advised we go to - some good advice it is up in the hills with awesome views and stunning waterfalls. Its a small safe town and the backpackers was very cool. Within an hour of arriving Ricky had somehow managed to persuade me to go white water tubing - yes thats right me white water tubing ( thats sitting in an inflatable donut and riding down very fast water with lots of rocks) for the record i'm proud of myself for doing it but i hated every single second of it. But i didn't fall out!!!! our trainers still stink though!

The manager of the backpackers did an awesome fire show with fire breathing and poise and fire sticks unreal and then we went to see the Lone Creek falls at 11pm we walked to the falls in absolute darkness which was weird but cool as we could see fireflys glow worms and glowing mushrooms - honest i swear glowing mushrooms i saw them with my own eyes. The waterfall was unbeleivable and sitting on the bridge in the dark just able to make out the fall and sitting so close we could feel the spray was very moving. I would enclose pics of the fireshow and falls as we had some ace ones but we lost them all which was gutting!
