Liffey Falls

I woke up feeling a strange draft on my head and my ears were freezing. After opening my eyes and getting my bearings I realized that the back door must have opened during the morning and we were snoozing with or heads hanging out of the car. And the morning was cold and miserable:

After a quick look into the map in the morning we decided on the next stop to be Liffey Falls as none of us has been there before. It was a very pleasant drive through fields and past occasional farm or lonely house. The campsite at Liffey Falls is beautiful and once again there was nobody there. We took the 3 hour return walk to the falls only to realize that these are THE FALLS – from all those postcards, calendars and websites about Tasmania, probably the most photographed falls in Tassie. Back in the campsite we considered hanging out in the evening but only for a very brief moment as it was totally freezing.

Rano jsem se probudila, nebot mi nezvykle tahlo na hlavu. Kdyz jsem konecne rozlepila oci a trocu se rozkoukala, ukazalo se, ze se nam behen rano otevrely zadni dvere a my jsme podrimovali s hlavama venku. Coz dokonale vysvetlilo me omrzle usi. Rano teda nic moc – zima, mlha, celkem ponuro, ale behem hodiny se vycasilo a bylo zase fajn. Po snidani jsme koukli do mapy a za dalsi zastavku vybrali Liffey Falls, nebot jsme tam jste nikdy nebyli. Cesta tam byla prijemna, mezi poli a pastvinami. V kempu jsme byli opet jediny. Nebot bylo ani ne poledne, vyrazili jsme na trihodinovou prochazku k vodopadum. Tam se ukazalo, ze toto jsou asi neslavnejsi tasmanske vodopady. Videla jsem je snad stokrat na kalendarich, pohledech a webovkach. Ani jeden z nas ale netusil, ze to jsou ony. Na vecer jsme si planovali ohynek a posezeni venku, ale zima nas velmi rychle zahnala do auta.
