Visit to Pont-de-Dieu

This is a waterfall just outside Dalaba.

We had an interesting incident when we were confronted by a lizard running towards us on the trail. Right behind it was a snake that was chasing it. The lizard stopped when it got close, decided to change paths, and ran to the side of the trail. The snake turned tail and retreated, disappearing into the bushes beside the trail. It happened so fast that I could not take a picture in time.
