Monkeys, Waterfalls and Mountains - Part 2

Wli ("Vlee") Falls is the tallest waterfall in West Africa.  80 meters in height.  The falls is known locally as Agoomatsa waterfalls, meaning "Allow Me to Flow". The falling water creates this unique climate that is cool and refreshing after a walk through the forest.  I was surprised to look up and see thousands of fruit bats resting on the rocks in a semi-circle around the top of the cliffs.  A young man picked up a hefty log and banged in on a bigger one causing a loud sound that scared the bats into taking flight.  It was awesome and scary at the same time.  After seeing the number of bats and where they rest and fly, I was not surprised we were cautioned not to swim in the water.  They tell the senior missionaries not to get in any water except the shower and a chlorinated swimming pool due to the lively bugs that live in most waters.  The falls water looks so clean, and it likely is as it leaps from the opening in the foliage covered cliffs and crashes to the pool below.

As we finished the walk, it began to rain.
