“High Tide? Or Low Tide?” (Namosi Highlands, Fiji – December 27, 2005)

For some reason, I kept thinking about dirty dishes when I laid my eyes on the liquid before me. But my sense of curiosity was every bit as strong as strong as well. Besides, everyone was looking…

Wainuta Falls

Wainuta Falls is a gorgeous 30m waterfall in the Luva Gorge beneath the Namosi Highlands. We experienced this waterfall as part of an all-day Rivers Fiji Tour.

Other Luva Waterfalls

There are other Luva Waterfalls that you can see while touring the Luva Gorge in a Rivers Fiji excursion. Most of the falls photographed here were taken when we cruised the Navua River…

“A Boxing Day Adventure” (Abaca, Fiji – December 26, 2005)

As we started to leave the base of the Savu-i-One Waterfall, Julie started to notice that her left arm was starting to feel numb. We weren’t quite sure what had happened…

Savu-i-one Waterfall

The Savu-i-One Waterfall is the feature waterfall attraction of the remote Koroyanitu National Park in northern Viti Levu. To even get to the reserve, you’ll need to arrange…

Vereni Falls

Vereni Falls is a tall waterfall downstream from the Savu-i-One Waterfall in Koroyanitu National Park near Abaca Village, but it’s hard to get a good look.

The Norwegian Language

One of the things that I learned when Julie and I turned our attention internationally to go waterfalling is that travel is all about building bridges between your own perception of the world and what actually happens in the real world…

Norway Highlights

Even though this is a waterfalls website, we recognize that there are many highlights from the island country of Iceland (both involving and not involving waterfalls). So we’ve come up with this page to pay homage to some of the highlights that we…

Norway Waterfalling Binge Itinerary – June 20, 2005 to July 9, 2005

This itinerary summarizes our trip in Norway, which was sort of a follow-up trip hot on the heels of our real eye-opener in New Zealand. This was one trip where I really wished we had more time because this was an extremely waterfall-centric trip…

The Lyngen Alps Waterfalls and the Kafjord Waterfalls

The Kafjorden Waterfalls page (Kåfjorden in Norwegian or Gáivuotna in Sami) is where I’m attributing the waterfalls we’ve seen while driving the E6 highway.

“Du må snakke mer norsk!” (Northern Norway – July 6, 2005 to July 9, 2005)

By now, I was getting tired of driving. Just how much longer did we have to drive until we arrive at Storslett? Complicating the situation was that I badly needed a restroom break…

Sprutfossen

Sprutfossen was a bit of a disappointment to Julie and I. We originally thought that the detour into the Plurdal Valley (Plurdalen) where we’d find this waterfall would only take us about 30…

Formofossen
