Guam - Talofofo Falls

Yesterdays gorgeous weather pushed us to go to Talofofo Falls, an attraction I never made it to when I lived here. We got a little lost trying to get there because all the signs to it are in Japanese, Chinese and Korean.


They have a bunch of little ride attractions, but it seemed like there was no one there to work them for us. There was an abandoned train track that Peter liked to play on.


One of the newer features there is an air gondola ride over the jungle down to the waterfalls. It was a nice little ride. Once we got to the bottom we ran into some ducks. They were hunting for food and came right up to us. When we broke out a banana to snack on I thought one of them was going to jump in my lap.


Near the waterfall there is a little "rail" ride through the deep jungle. It was fun to go through the trees.


The ride was basically a bunch of chairs on a track pushed by a lawn mower engine. You gotta love the creativity!


Peter loved the choo-choo. He liked looking at the trees and frogs that jumped away as we went past.


Talofofo Falls was beautiful. There are two different falls, one is about 30 feet tall.


Peter did lots of climbing and hiking through the jungle. He was scared of the history museum that had lots of war scenes. The museum was a little annoying for me, the exhibits were made for the Japanese and the English translations were awfully confusing.


We had a fun outing though. Such an amazingly beautiful scene.
