Have you ever driven through a Waterfall?

in #dtube7 years ago (edited)


Hi everyone!

Today we started our exploration of Reunion Island, and what a beautiful place it is!

No wonder the French were keen to settle here. This island, containing an active volcano is packed with greenery and 100's of waterfalls, and you can see just some in the pictures and the short video uploaded today.

You Pisse where?!

La Pisse en l'air, which literally means 'The piss in the air' (See, the French do have a sense of humour!) is around 20 kilometers inland from the north-east coast and we had the fortune to drive through it twice today.

Most waterfalls aren't within touching distance, but this one is like a high-speed car-wash - you just drive straight through! The observant may spot the rainbow shining through a small waterfall to the left just before impact - sweet!

As today's theme is water, here are a couple more photos of the amazing scenery, including a couple of us 'getting in the way' :)

Eyes on the road driver!

Yes, but just look at the scenery!

Shall we stop by the river?

Waterfalls everywhere!

Look out for a blog by @osm0sis later today with more on this beautiful Island which we are so lucky to be staying on.

I hope you enjoy the video!

Hi Asher, Another amazing sight with full of amazing green trees, in fact huge trees and the zig-zag road is reminding me of my school trip to hill station back in 2012 from my university.

I am wondering why there is no music while driving guys :P i can't drive without music ;)

I have followed @osm0sis and looking forward to her blog as well, by they way she is a perfect driver too, literally ;)

P.S: Waterfall scene is so beautiful My Friend

Stay Blessed Friends

Steem On!

Hi Salman, yes it was a great drive and short hike today - luckily I was the passenger so plenty of time to look out the window at the amazing sights :)

No music, a good point - but we wanted to be heard and for the water hitting the car to be heard also!

I think @osm0sis will be finished in a few hours, her average blog time is 5-9 hours though so don't hold your breath!

Thanks for the kind comments as always,

Steem on!

Oh this is a valid point indeed

we wanted to be heard and for the water hitting the car to be heard also!

I am sure her focus must be on Quality so that's why she takes her time to upload the stuff :)

Stay Blessed you both <3

Yes you are correct there. Quality not quantity for sure!

Thanks and you also :)

Pisse en l'air! I think that's what your gf said. That road is pretty crazy!

Haha yeah man, that's what it's named on the sign coming the other way! Genius 😁

What an exciting adventure you two have been having!!! Hope you're having the time of your lives!! Which it sure looks like!

Yes things have improved as the week has progressed, we still don't have a plan for the coming month, but when you have today, why worry about that!

Thank you!

I always like to try new thing, heck, even a walk on the wild side every once in a while. At least to have to have some authentic stories to tell the children unborn :)

Tales for the future is one way to look at these days for sure. Thanks as always @greenrun

Looks exotic buddy, are you all moved in? I remember you saying a few months back you were moving here, if I'm not mistaken. Love the lush green scenery

Exotic it sure is! The plants and the animals, from multicolored birds to those creepy cockroach things!

Currently cheap hoteling it while we work out what to do next. Cheers!

haha piss in the air! i like that you mentioned that the french do have a sense of humor :)

i never have driven under a waterfall, but i always count them as some of the most magical places i've been! you both look bright and happy! the negative ions around waterfalls are soo uplifting... i was inspired to do a little research, lol! here's a few stats about them from here...

Normal fresh air has about 2-3000 negative ions per cubic centimetre (the size of a sugar cube) but around a waterfall or by the ocean the count can be in the tens of thousands!

But in a waterfall, the collision of the water molecules (which comprise oxygen and hydrogen atoms) strips electrons from the oxygen in the water allowing them to accumulate in the oxygen atoms in the surrounding air. This creates electrically charged particles called ions, some positively charged – those oxygen atoms in the water with fewer electrons than normal – others with a negative charge – those oxygen atoms in the air with more electrons than normal. The same thing happens in the surf, during a thunderstorm and even in your shower – the water becomes positively charged as the surrounding air acquires a negative charge.

So cool! Let's get those negative ions :)

Excellent!

We actually visited More waterfalls and a
Lake surrounded by volcanic hills with waterfalls today, more on that from myself or @osm0sis soon!

Thanks for the positive energy!

yes just recently found you both, so now following on steemit and excited about your new adventure on the island. i love travel... gah more waterfalls and lakes with volcanic hills! :) <3

That's what I like to hear! 😁

Nice blog Asher. I enjoy having pictures from the island.

Well there will be more soon for sure!

If you click the top image, a video should load? I'm not sure how obvious this is to everyone.

Thank you for telling me about the video. I liked it.

Thank you for telling me about the video. I liked it.

Hi Asher, what amazing place, looks very similar to the waterfalls we have here in Brazil but with a different touch, different plants. Very cool, these mountains sights on the road are beautiful ! Have fun man! o/

Thank you!

I'd love to see some of Brazil one day - maybe Steem can power us over there 😁

I'm sure it can ;)

When you come, reserve enough time, there are many places to meet and the country is huge, hehe
see you

😁 perhaps you will!

Cool waterfall! Are going to relocate to Reunion Island?

This was the original plan, but it has not turned out that way. @osm0sis is working on her post now in which more details will be shared.

Love waterfalls!

Looking forward to reading what you are up to...

When we find out I'll let Steemit know! Cheers!

Thanks for the great story. You are good fellows, that you spend time on traveling.

Спасибо за отличный рассказ. Вы молодцы, что уделяете время на путешествия.

Thank you, the island writes the story itself 😁

Really, this is what you call a waterfall? XDDD

Yes, it's on a par with what you call Rafting 😂

You enjoyed that Rafting activity if I'm not mistaken... ;P

Yes it was a fun day out 😁

Surely you are enjoying your journey very well and I hope you enjoy a lot and if you can not go near the waterfall you are enjoying it very well.
and excellent your photography

Thanks for the post and spectacular photos. Reunion Island certainly looks a lot warmer than where I am currently - near Niagara Falls. :)

Happy travels.

You got the king of waterfalls there though! Cheers!

wow! the nature view was sooooo amazing!!! and what a great you and your partner had on that place i can imagine the feeling of like having a heavy rain when you pass the water fall, it struck the front of the car haha. here in the philippines, we have almost the same view and rivers flowing from mountain water, and it's so cold, thanks for sharing this i felt like i've been brought back to my hometown, somehow newbie at steemit,been following you to get inspiration, for my blogs too. 👏👍❤️❤️❤️

I'm very glad to hear that, thanks for your kind comments!

Hello @abh12345
I always like to try new things, hey, even the streets on the wild side occasionally. At least we should have some authentic stories to tell the kids who will be born later
